The Hornady XTP Mag 45 Cal .452 240 gr bullet is a magnum-rated handgun projectile engineered for reloaders who demand reliable expansion and deep penetration in high-velocity applications. Built to handle the extreme velocities of powerful magnum revolvers and semi-automatics, these 100 rounds of bullets deliver the controlled mushrooming and accuracy Hornady is known for, with geometry optimized specifically for the demands of magnum handgun hunting and self-defense loads.
XTP Mag bullets start with a solid gilding metal jacket that's drawn to varying thickness along the bullet's length—a design advantage over uniform plated alternatives. This tapered jacket strategy, combined with precise serrations that divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, initiates reliable expansion even when velocities dip below typical magnum speeds. The result is deeper penetration than standard XTP bullets without sacrificing the controlled expansion shooters need for ethical hunting and reliable stopping performance.
The swaged steel core is uniform in density, ensuring balanced expansion and in-flight stability shot to shot. On the revolver end, the factory-applied cannelure locks the bullet securely in the case for consistent crimping without distortion to the finished round. These bullets feed reliably in semi-automatics thanks to the enclosed nose cavity design, making them a versatile choice for handloaders working both revolver and pistol platforms.
| Caliber | .45 (45 Cal) |

XTP Mag bullets are engineered for ultra-powerful magnum handguns—both revolvers and semi-automatics—that deliver significantly higher velocities than standard .45 ACP. They're rated to handle magnum cartridges without over-expanding or losing integrity on impact.
XTP Mag bullets have a .452 diameter, which is standard for .45 caliber handgun cartridges. However, they're specifically designed and optimized for the higher velocities of magnum loadings. For standard .45 ACP, Hornady offers standard XTP bullets tuned for those velocity ranges.
XTP Mag bullets use the same .452 diameter and standard cannelure groove as other .45 caliber handgun bullets, so they work with standard .45 reloading dies. The cannelure is already applied and optimized for crimping.
XTP Mag bullets are built for magnum handgun hunting of medium game and personal defense applications where penetration and expansion consistency at high velocity matter. Reloaders also use them for precision shooting where the combination of accuracy and stopping performance is required.
