Hornady 10mm Cal 200gr XTP

The Hornady 10mm Cal 200gr XTP bullet is a heavyweight, high-performance option designed for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications. Delivering deep penetration, reliable expansion, and exceptional accuracy, this bullet embodies the XTP^® legacy that has earned the trust of reloaders and shooters nationwide. Whether you’re crafting a powerful 10mm load for backcountry defense or optimizing a hunting round for medium game, the 200gr XTP offers the stopping power and consistency required for critical applications.

At the core of this bullet’s effectiveness is Hornady’s engineered balance of expansion and penetration. The precision-cut serrations on the jacket initiate controlled expansion, allowing the bullet to mushroom reliably even at lower velocities—ideal for both short-barreled handguns and suppressed platforms. Its heavier 200-grain weight ensures deeper penetration, making it particularly effective in high-stress scenarios or when hunting tough-bodied animals.

The drawn gilding metal jacket encloses the nose entirely, eliminating exposed lead to reduce fouling and ensure smooth, consistent feeding in semi-automatics. The swaged lead core is formed for total uniformity, improving in-flight stability and contributing to consistent accuracy shot after shot. A tapered jacket design promotes controlled, symmetrical expansion and enhances weight retention through tough tissue and barriers.

To further support structural integrity, Hornady incorporates a cannelure prior to the final shaping process. This provides a secure and repeatable crimp point, which is especially valuable in high-recoil cartridges like 10mm Auto. For reloaders looking to stock up, the Hornady 10mm 200gr XTP is available in bulk bullets packaging—perfect for building a dependable supply of high-performance rounds.

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 CORE

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 with 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.
