Hornady XTP .357 110 Grain Hollow Point Bullets

Hornady XTP .357 110 Grain Hollow Points

The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet stands as one of the most trusted handgun projectiles in the shooting world. Designed for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications, these .357 caliber bullets have earned their reputation through consistent, reliable performance.

Design and Construction

Hornady engineered the XTP with precision serrations that divide the bullet into symmetrical sections. This strategic weakening of the jacket initiates controlled expansion even at low velocities—a critical advantage when shooting through various barriers or at varying distances.

The gilding metal jacket protects the bullet's nose while the uniformly dense core ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability. Jacket thickness varies along the bullet's length to control expansion characteristics, providing superior performance compared to plated bullets with uniform jacket thickness.

Performance Characteristics

Reliable Expansion: XTP bullets expand consistently across a wide range of handgun velocities, from modest revolver loads to hot magnum rounds.

Deep Penetration: The controlled expansion design delivers the penetration needed for effective stopping power without over-expansion.

Accuracy: Competitive shooters have adopted the XTP for its inherent accuracy, making it equally suitable for target work and hunting applications.

Practical Features

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