Hornady 45 Cal 250gr XTP

Designed for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications, the Hornady 45 Cal 250gr XTP bullet delivers the accuracy and terminal performance shooters trust. This .452″ caliber bullet offers a balance of deep penetration and controlled expansion, making it an excellent choice for revolvers, semi-automatics, and lever-action firearms alike.

From its consistent swaged core to its heavy jacket, the XTP is engineered to perform under a wide range of handgun velocities. Every feature is designed to enhance ballistic performance while ensuring predictable expansion and penetration.

CONTROLLED EXPANSION
Strategically placed serrations weaken the jacket in key areas, allowing the bullet to expand reliably across a broad range of velocities without fragmentation.

NO EXPOSED LEAD
The gilding metal jacket protects the nose of the bullet to ensure reliable feeding in semi-automatics and preserves the hollow point’s structural integrity.

SWAGED CORE
A uniformly dense lead core ensures reliable expansion and stability in flight, supporting accurate and repeatable shot placement.

DRAWN GILDING METAL JACKET
Hornady carefully varies the jacket thickness along the bullet’s length to promote controlled expansion while maintaining bullet strength.

CANNELURE
A precision-applied cannelure allows for consistent and secure crimping, supporting reliable chambering and ignition in revolvers and carbines.

This Hornady 250gr XTP is a proven performer for reloaders who demand terminal performance from a .45 caliber handgun bullet.
