Hornady XTP bullets provide accuracy and dependability for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications. These bullets have precise serrations that divide the XTP into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket and initiating controlled expansion even at low velocities. The gilding metal jacket protects the nose of the bullet. The hollow cavity functions properly on impact and ensures proper feeding in semi-automatics. Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability. Expansion is controlled by varying jacket thickness down the length of the XTP, providing an edge of plated bullets which have a uniform thickness over the entire bullet.
