The Hornady XTP bullet was originally designed for Hunting, self-defence and law enforcement purposes but it's extreme accuracy led to it being adopted by many competitive target shooters as well. Their reliable terminal performance has gained them a world class reputation. From the beginning, the XTP bullet was designed to expand at a wide range of handgun velocities to give deep penetration with every shot. Features: Precise serrations divide the XTP� into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket and initiating controlled expansion even at low velocities.
Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion as well as in-flight stability. Expansion is controlled by varying jacket thickness down the length of the XTP�, providing a definite advantage over plated bullets which have a uniform jacket thickness over the entire bullet.
On revolver bullets, the cannelure helps achieve accurate, consistent, crimping. All cannelures are applied before the final forming process to eliminate any distortion to the finished bullet.
