The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) jacketed hollow-point is one of the most widely used component bullets for handloading .38 Special and .357 Magnum. This 125-grain, .357" diameter projectile sits in the middle of the XTP handgun range and is a popular choice for target shooters and hunters alike. Its reputation rests on controlled, reliable expansion at the varied velocities produced by different powder charges and barrel lengths. Precise serrations weaken the jacket at symmetrical points to initiate expansion even at modest velocity, while the drawn gilding-metal jacket — varying in thickness along its length — manages the rate of upset during penetration. The swaged lead core delivers uniform density throughout the bullet for consistent in-flight stability and predictable terminal performance. The fully enclosed nose protects the hollow cavity and ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols. A cannelure on revolver-specification bullets allows a firm, consistent crimp. These are component projectiles for handloading only — not loaded ammunition.
