Hornady XTP Projectiles

The Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) Projectiles are premium jacketed hollow point bullets designed to deliver exceptional accuracy, controlled expansion and deep penetration. Originally developed for hunting and handgun applications, the XTP has become one of the most respected hollow point projectile designs in the world and remains a favourite among reloaders, hunters and target shooters alike.

Featuring a precision-engineered hollow point cavity, the XTP is specifically designed to provide controlled and consistent expansion across a broad range of impact velocities. Unlike many conventional hollow point bullets that prioritise rapid expansion, the XTP uses a carefully tapered jacket and strategically placed serrations to balance expansion with penetration, ensuring reliable terminal performance.

Hornady manufactures the XTP using a drawn gilding metal jacket and swaged lead core, delivering exceptional concentricity and uniformity. The jacket thickness varies along the length of the projectile to control expansion while maintaining bullet integrity, resulting in outstanding accuracy and dependable performance on game and targets alike.

Whether used for hunting, handgun competition, metallic silhouette shooting or recreational target shooting, the XTP has earned a reputation for delivering match-grade accuracy combined with excellent terminal performance. Hornady's commitment to quality manufacturing has made the XTP one of the most widely used premium handgun projectiles available.
