Hornady .44 Caliber 300gr XTP Hollow Point Bullets

Hornady XTP Hollow Point Bullets: .44 Caliber, 300 Grain

The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) hollow point has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable handgun bullets available. These .44 caliber, 300-grain projectiles deliver the controlled expansion and penetration that hunters, competitive shooters, and defensive shooters demand.

Design and Performance

Hornady engineered the XTP with a heavier jacket designed to withstand the high pressures and velocities of modern handgun ammunition. The result is a bullet that expands reliably to approximately 1.5 times its original diameter across a wide range of velocities—from modest revolver loads to magnum power levels.

What Makes XTP Different

Precision Serrations: Strategically placed serrations divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, weakening the jacket and initiating controlled expansion even at lower velocities where other bullets might fail to perform.

Uniform Core Density: Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability, shot after shot.

Variable Jacket Thickness: Unlike plated bullets with uniform jacket thickness, the XTP features controlled jacket thickness variation along its length. This engineering advantage delivers superior expansion characteristics.

Revolver-Specific Features: Each bullet includes a cannelure applied before final forming to ensure accurate, consistent crimping without distortion.

Ideal For

• Hunting medium to large game
• Self-defense and personal protection
• Target shooting and load development
• Competitive handgun sports
• Law enforcement applications

The XTP's world-class reputation is built on one simple principle: reliable stopping power through consistent, controlled performance.
