Design and Performance

Hornady Custom Handgun ammunition is built on a foundation of hand-loaded precision translated into factory consistency. Each cartridge is loaded to exacting standards, with cases, primers, and propellants specifically selected for superior handgun performance.

The XTP Flat Point bullet is engineered for controlled expansion, typically expanding to 1.0 to 1.5 times its original diameter while maintaining deep penetration. This balance of expansion and penetration makes it suitable for hunting and defensive applications where reliable terminal performance is essential.

Quality Assurance

Every round undergoes inspection to ensure optimal pressure, velocity, and consistency from lot to lot. Primers are carefully matched to individual loads and selected for their ability to quickly, completely, and reliably ignite the powder charge.
