Hornady .44 Cal. 180 gr. XTP Pistol Bullets

Hornady XTP: The Handgunner's Choice

The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable handgun projectiles available. Designed for hunting, self-defense, and competitive shooting, this .44 caliber offering combines proven engineering with consistent performance across a wide range of velocities.

Design and Performance

The XTP's success stems from its thoughtful construction:

• Controlled Expansion: Precise serrations divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate expansion even at modest 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—a distinct advantage over plated bullets with uniform thickness
• Gilding Metal Jacket: Protects the nose and supports reliable feeding in semi-automatic firearms

Revolver-Specific Features

The cannelure on revolver bullets aids in achieving accurate, consistent crimping. All cannelures are applied before the final forming process to eliminate distortion.
