• XTP hollow point: engineered for controlled expansion at wide range of handgun velocities
• 45 calibre — .452" diameter, 250 grains
• Drawn gilding-metal jacket with varying thickness controls expansion depth
• Swaged lead core for uniform density and in-flight stability
• Gilding-metal jacket covers the nose — feeds reliably in semi-automatics
• Cannelure enables accurate, consistent crimp on revolver loads

The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) is one of the most trusted handgun reloading bullets in production, favoured by hunters, target shooters and law-enforcement reloaders alike. This 45 calibre (.452" diameter) 250-grain hollow point bullet is engineered for controlled expansion across the full range of handgun velocities — from modest revolver loads up to full-power 45 Colt and 45 ACP pressures. Precise serrations divide the jacket into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening it to initiate reliable expansion even at lower speeds, while a drawn gilding-metal jacket of varying thickness down the length of the bullet controls the rate and depth of that expansion. A swaged lead core gives uniform density throughout, promoting balanced expansion and in-flight stability. The gilding-metal jacket covers the hollow-point nose entirely, so the cavity functions correctly on impact and feeds reliably in semi-automatics. Revolver shooters benefit from a cannelure applied before final forming, enabling accurate and consistent crimp without distorting the finished bullet.
