Hornady 38 Cal 158gr FP XTP
Designed for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications, the Hornady 38 Cal 158gr FP XTP bullet demonstrates the accuracy that led many competitive shooters to adopt it. Reliable performance makes the XTP the most popular handgun bullet for target shooters and hunters. But the stopping power of the XTP bullet has truly built its world-class reputation. From the onset, XTP bullets were designed to expand reliably at a wide range of handgun velocities to deliver deep penetration with every shot. This flat point projectile uses a .357″ diameter, making it ideal for revolvers and compatible lever-action platforms chambered in .38 Special or .357 Magnum.
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 correctly 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.
