Hornady XTP 9mm 90 Grain Hollow Point Bullets

Hornady XTP: The Handgun Bullet Standard

The Hornady XTP represents decades of ballistic engineering focused on one goal: reliable performance when it matters most. Whether you're a competitive shooter, hunter, or concerned with personal defense, this 90-grain hollow point delivers the accuracy and stopping power that has made it the choice of serious marksmen worldwide.

Design and Construction

The XTP's reputation rests on intelligent engineering:

• Controlled Expansion: Precise serrations divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate expansion even at low velocities
• Uniform Core Density: Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability shot after shot
• Variable Jacket Thickness: Expansion is controlled by varying jacket thickness along the bullet's length, providing superior performance compared to plated bullets with uniform jacket thickness
• Gilding Metal Jacket: Protects the bullet's nose and ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic firearms
• Cannelure: On revolver bullets, the cannelure (applied before final forming) enables accurate, consistent crimping without distortion

Why Choose XTP?

The XTP was specifically designed to expand reliably across the wide velocity range typical of handgun cartridges. This means deep penetration and consistent performance whether you're shooting standard or +P ammunition. Competitive shooters adopted the XTP for its accuracy; hunters and defensive shooters trust it for its stopping power. That combination of precision and reliability has built a world-class reputation earned through real-world performance.
