The Hornady XTP .45 caliber 300 grain hollow point bullet is a proven workhorse for handloaders who demand reliable expansion and consistent performance across a spectrum of velocities. Whether you're loading for a 1911, revolver, or modern tactical pistol, the XTP's balanced design delivers the accuracy competitive shooters trust and the terminal performance hunters and defensive-minded reloaders expect. This 50-round box gives you quality components to build ammo tailored to your specific firearm and shooting goals.

What sets the XTP apart is its methodical engineering: serrations cut into the bullet divide it into symmetrical sections that initiate expansion reliably—even from handguns running relatively modest velocities. The swaged core ensures uniform density, which translates to balanced, predictable bullet performance and in-flight stability, shot after shot. Unlike uniform-jacket designs that can expand inconsistently, Hornady varies the jacket thickness along the XTP's length to govern expansion rate and penetration depth. The result is a hollow point that expands when it should and penetrates deep enough to reach vital zones.

The .45 caliber XTP carries a cannelure, which is especially useful if you're loading for revolvers—it provides a crimping groove that helps you achieve accurate, consistent bullet seating without distorting the finished product. If you're a handloader who values repeatability, component quality, and bullets that perform reliably across factory and custom loads alike, the XTP remains one of the most popular choices for a reason.
