The Hornady XTP® Mag™ bullet stands as a testament to the art of ammunition craftsmanship, offering reliability and precision for those who demand excellence in their shooting pursuits. Whether your purpose is hunting medium game or ensuring personal defense, these bullets are engineered to perform with unwavering consistency.
At the heart of the XTP® Mag™ design lies its ability to withstand ultra-powerful magnum handguns' higher velocities and impacts. This makes it an ideal choice not just for target shooters but also for hunters seeking deeper penetration than standard offerings can provide. The .45 Caliber variant boasts a weight of 300 grains, a diameter of .452 inches, with a ballistic coefficient of .200 and sectional density of .210—figures that speak volumes about its aerodynamic efficiency.
A hallmark feature is the precise serrations dividing each bullet into symmetrical sections. These cleverly weaken the jacket strategically, igniting controlled expansion even at lower velocities—a critical factor when accuracy cannot be compromised under varying conditions. Moreover, this expansion control is achieved by varying jacket thickness along the length of each bullet, providing an edge over plated alternatives which lack such sophistication.
The gilding metal jacket plays dual roles; it shields the nose from damage while ensuring reliable feeding in semi-automatic firearms—a crucial consideration for self-defense scenarios where every second counts. Additionally, total uniformity in core density guarantees both balanced expansion upon impact and stability during flight.
For revolver users specifically, Hornady has incorporated cannelures on these bullets to ensure accurate crimping without distorting their final form post-manufacture—an often-overlooked detail that ensures consistent performance shot after shot.
In conclusion, whether you’re venturing into dense woods or preparing your firearm for defensive readiness at home, trust Hornady’s XTP® Mag™ bullets to deliver uncompromising results where they matter most: downrange.
