Hornady 44 Cal 200gr XTP

The Hornady 44 Cal 200gr XTP bullet is a versatile and high-performance option for reloaders who demand consistent results from their handgun loads. Originally designed for hunting and self-defense, this bullet has also earned a strong reputation in competitive shooting circles. Its balance of accuracy, controlled expansion, and penetration has made it one of the most trusted projectiles in the handgun reloading world.

The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet is engineered to perform reliably across a wide spectrum of handgun velocities. Whether you’re loading for a powerful .44 Magnum revolver or a moderate .44 Special platform, this bullet delivers consistent expansion and deep penetration with every shot. Its stopping power, accuracy, and terminal consistency have made it a favorite among hunters, law enforcement professionals, and personal defense shooters alike.

Hornady’s proprietary gilding metal jacket completely encapsulates the tip, eliminating exposed lead and improving feeding reliability in semi-automatics. Inside, the swaged lead core maintains uniform density for stable flight and balanced expansion. Each XTP bullet is precision-formed and finished with a cannelure to ensure proper crimping, reducing bullet setback and improving performance under recoil. The drawn jacket is tapered in thickness to help control expansion at both high and low velocities—offering versatility that plated bullets simply can’t match.

Whether you’re preparing for range day or building dependable carry loads, the Hornady 44 Cal 200gr XTP delivers on all fronts. Reloaders looking for high-volume savings will appreciate that these bullets are available in bulk bullets packaging, making them a smart and economical choice without sacrificing quality.

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.
