Hornady XTP .357 125-Grain Hollow Point Bullets

Hornady XTP Hollow Point Bullets: Precision Engineering for Serious Shooters

The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable handgun projectiles available. These .357 diameter, 125-grain hollow points deliver the kind of accuracy and stopping power that competitive shooters and hunters have trusted for decades.

Design and Performance

Hornady engineered the XTP specifically for expansion reliability across a wide range of handgun velocities—from modest revolver speeds to hot magnum loads. The bullet's design features:

• Precise serrations that divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate controlled expansion even at low velocities
• Uniform core density that ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability
• Variable jacket thickness that controls expansion more effectively than plated bullets with uniform jackets
• Gilding metal jacket that protects the bullet's nose while supporting reliable performance

Practical Applications

Whether you're handloading for hunting, personal defense, or target competition, the XTP delivers consistent results. The 125-grain weight in .357 diameter offers an excellent balance of velocity, energy, and controllability in both .357 Magnum and .38 Special platforms.

Reloading Convenience

Each bullet features a cannelure applied before final forming to eliminate distortion. This ensures accurate, consistent crimping for handloaders who demand precision in their ammunition.
