Hornady XTP .38 Cal 158gr

Designed for hunting, self-defense and law enforcement applications, the XTP^® bullet demonstrates the kind of accuracy that led many competitive shooters to adopt it. Reliable performance makes the XTP^® the most popular handgun bullet for both target shooters and hunters. But it’s the stopping power of the XTP^® bullet that has truly built its world-class reputation. From the onset, XTP^® bullets were specifically designed to expand reliably at a wide range of handgun velocities to deliver deep penetration with every shot.

CONTROLLED EXPANSION:  Precise serrations divide the XTP^® into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket and initiating controlled expansion even at low velocities.

NO EXPOSED LEAD:  The gilding metal jacket protects the nose of the bullet, so the hollow cavity functions properly on impact and ensures proper feeding in semi-automatics.

SWAGED CORE:  Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion as well as in-flight stability.

DRAWN GILDING METAL JACKET: 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.

CANNELURE:  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.
