Hornady 45 Cal 240gr XTP Mag (Bulk / OEM)

Hornady 45 Cal 240gr XTP Mag

The Hornady 45 Cal 240gr XTP^® Mag is a heavy-duty handgun bullet specifically engineered for the increased pressures and velocities of magnum revolvers and ultra-powerful semi-automatics. Designed for personal defense and medium-game hunting, this projectile delivers the same exceptional accuracy and expansion performance that defines the standard XTP^® line—but with the added strength needed for deeper penetration and tougher impact scenarios.

The XTP^® Mag stands out due to its ability to maintain structural integrity under high-impact conditions. It uses a thicker jacket and optimized internal design to expand reliably while resisting fragmentation at higher velocities. Whether you’re using a .454 Casull, .460 S&W Magnum, or full-power .45 Colt load, this bullet offers dependable performance and clean terminal results—even when targeting tough-skinned game or heavy bone.

Each bullet features a drawn gilding metal jacket that covers the entire nose of the projectile. This prevents lead fouling and ensures smooth feeding in both revolvers and semi-automatic platforms. The jacket is serrated internally to guide expansion along strategic fault lines, ensuring that expansion occurs consistently even at lower impact velocities.

At the core, Hornady’s swaged lead design delivers uniform density for exceptional in-flight stability and tight groupings. The bullet’s jacket thickness is varied from nose to base to guide expansion while retaining the necessary mass to punch through barriers or game. A precision-applied cannelure supports secure crimping, which is crucial when reloading for high-pressure cartridges where setback or slippage could compromise performance.

For reloaders preparing hunting or defense loads in volume, the Hornady 45 Cal 240gr XTP^® Mag is also available in bulk bullets packaging—perfect for those who value power, performance, and cost-efficiency in one package.

CONTROLLED EXPANSION

Precise serrations divide the XTP^® Mag 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^® Mag, 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.
