Hornady 44 Cal 240gr XTP (Bulk / OEM)

Hornady 44 Cal 240gr XTP

The Hornady 44 Cal 240gr XTP^® is a classic, high-performing handgun bullet trusted by hunters, law enforcement, and self-defense enthusiasts alike. Designed for powerful revolver cartridges such as .44 Magnum and .44 Special, this 240-grain projectile is known for its reliable expansion, deep penetration, and exceptional accuracy—making it one of the most versatile heavy-caliber handgun bullets available today.

This bullet features a swaged lead core that ensures total uniformity in weight distribution and expansion, enhancing both in-flight stability and terminal performance. The exposed lead tip initiates expansion upon impact, while internal serrations control the rate and consistency of expansion across a wide range of velocities. Whether fired from a snub-nosed revolver or a long-barreled hunting handgun, the XTP^® maintains a predictable and powerful performance profile.

The drawn gilding metal jacket is tapered and varies in thickness along the length of the bullet, optimizing the balance between expansion and weight retention. Unlike plated bullets, the XTP^® jacket is mechanically bonded and precise, delivering reliable penetration through thick hide or heavy clothing without jacket separation or fragmentation.

Reloaders will appreciate the bullet’s cannelure, applied before the final forming process to ensure a uniform crimping surface. This not only enhances case tension but also improves reliability in revolvers where bullets can shift under recoil. For those loading large quantities for field use or personal defense, the Hornady 44 Cal 240gr XTP is available in bulk bullets packaging, delivering trusted performance at scale.

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.
