Hornady XTP .45 Caliber 185gr Hollow Point Bullets

Hornady XTP: The Gold Standard in Handgun Bullets

The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) hollow point has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable and effective handgun bullets available. Designed specifically for .45 caliber firearms, these 185-grain projectiles combine precision engineering with proven stopping power.

Key Features

• Caliber: .45 caliber (.451" diameter)
• Weight: 185 grains
• Ballistic Coefficient: .139
• Sectional Density: .130
• Quantity: 100 bullets per box

Superior Design and Performance

The XTP's controlled expansion is engineered to reach approximately 1.5 times its original diameter across a wide range of velocities. This consistency makes it equally effective whether fired from a full-power handload or a standard factory round.

Precise serrations divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate reliable expansion even at lower velocities. Unlike plated bullets with uniform jacket thickness, the XTP features varying jacket thickness along its length—a design advantage that ensures balanced, predictable expansion and in-flight stability.

Built for Demanding Applications

The heavier jacket construction stands up to the high pressures and velocities of modern handgun ammunition. Whether you're a competitive shooter, hunter, or concerned with personal defense, the XTP delivers the accuracy and reliability that has made it the choice of shooters worldwide.

On revolver bullets, the cannelure is applied before final forming to ensure accurate, consistent crimping without distortion to the finished bullet.
