Hornady - XTP - 38 Caliber

XTP^®Extreme Terminal Performance

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.

Description:

• 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 Cored: 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.
