Hornady XTP 10mm .400 200 gr Hollow Point Bullets

Hornady XTP: The Benchmark for Handgun Bullets

The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) hollow point has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable handgun bullets available. Designed specifically for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications, the XTP combines proven accuracy with exceptional stopping power.

Design and Construction

The XTP's effectiveness stems from its thoughtful engineering:

• Precise Serrations: Strategic cuts divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, weakening the jacket in a controlled manner to initiate expansion even at low velocities
• Uniform Core Density: Total uniformity throughout the core ensures balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability
• Variable Jacket Thickness: Expansion is controlled by varying jacket thickness along the bullet's length—a significant advantage over plated bullets with uniform jacket thickness
• Gilding Metal Jacket: Protects the bullet's nose while allowing reliable expansion
• Cannelure: Applied before final forming to eliminate distortion and ensure accurate, consistent crimping in revolvers

Performance Characteristics

The 200-grain .400" XTP delivers:

• Ballistic Coefficient: .199
• Sectional Density: .179
• Reliable expansion across a wide range of handgun velocities
• Deep penetration with every shot
• Exceptional accuracy that has made it the choice of competitive shooters

Versatility

Whether you're a target shooter, hunter, or responsible for personal defense, the XTP's proven track record makes it a trusted choice. Its combination of accuracy, controlled expansion, and penetration has established it as a world-class handgun bullet.
