Hornady XTP Mag .45 Cal 300gr Hollow Point Bullets

Hornady XTP Mag .45 Caliber Bullets

The XTP Mag represents Hornady's evolution in handgun bullet design, purpose-built for shooters who demand performance from powerful magnum pistols. These .452" diameter, 300-grain hollow points combine proven XTP technology with enhancements specifically engineered for higher velocities and impact forces.

Design and Construction

Controlled Expansion System Precise serrations divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate expansion even at lower velocities. This design ensures consistent performance across a range of shooting scenarios—from target work to defensive applications.

Superior Jacket Engineering The variable jacket thickness along the bullet's length provides a distinct advantage over traditional plated bullets. This graduated approach allows the XTP Mag to achieve deeper penetration while maintaining controlled expansion, a balance critical for both hunting and personal defense.

Core Uniformity Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability, translating to tighter groups and more predictable terminal performance downrange.

Performance Characteristics

• Ballistic Coefficient: .200
• Sectional Density: .210
• Cannelure: Applied before final forming to ensure consistent crimping without distortion

Applications

These bullets excel in personal defense, medium-game hunting, and competitive shooting. The XTP Mag's reputation stems from its ability to deliver the stopping power and accuracy that serious shooters demand, whether you're loading for a .45 ACP or exploring magnum handgun options.

What Sets XTP Mag Apart

While standard XTP bullets remain excellent choices, the XTP Mag takes performance further. Built to withstand the higher velocities and impacts of ultra-powerful magnum handguns, they deliver even deeper penetration without sacrificing the controlled expansion that made the original XTP a favorite among competitive shooters and hunters worldwide.
