Hornady XTP .357 125-Grain Handgun Bullets

Hornady XTP: The Gold Standard in Handgun Bullets

The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted handgun projectiles in the world. These .357 caliber, 125-grain bullets deliver the kind of accuracy and reliability that competitive shooters demand, combined with the stopping power that hunters and self-defense users depend on.

Design and Performance

The XTP is engineered for three critical applications:

• Hunting — Reliable expansion and deep penetration for medium game
• Self-Defense — Consistent performance across a wide range of handgun velocities
• Target Shooting — Exceptional accuracy for competitive and recreational use

What Makes XTP Bullets Different

Controlled Expansion Technology

Precise serrations divide the XTP into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate expansion even at lower velocities. This design ensures you get reliable performance whether you're shooting from a snub-nose revolver or a full-size handgun.

Superior Core Uniformity

Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability. Expansion is further controlled by varying jacket thickness along the bullet's length—a definite advantage over plated bullets with uniform jacket thickness.

Revolver-Specific Features

The cannelure on these bullets helps achieve accurate, consistent crimping in revolver ammunition. All cannelures are applied before the final forming process to eliminate distortion.
