The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) is a controlled-expansion handgun bullet that has earned a broad following among competitive shooters, hunters and those loading for self-defence. This .451-diameter, 230-grain version is designed to expand reliably across a wide range of pistol velocities, providing deep, consistent penetration with every shot. Precise serrations divide the XTP into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the gilding metal jacket at predetermined points to initiate controlled expansion even at low velocities — while the varying jacket thickness along the bullet's length regulates the rate of upset more precisely than uniform-thickness plated bullets can achieve. The swaged lead core ensures uniform density throughout, contributing to in-flight stability and balanced expansion. A gilding metal jacket that covers the nose fully prevents lead exposure in the hollow cavity, so the bullet feeds reliably in semi-automatic pistols. Where fitted, the cannelure is applied before final forming to avoid any distortion of the finished bullet. Sold as component bullets for handloading.
