Hornady 45 Cal 300gr XTP (Bulk / OEM)

Hornady 45 Cal 300gr XTP

The Hornady 45 Cal 300gr XTP^® bullet is a heavyweight performer engineered for maximum stopping power, deep penetration, and consistent expansion. Trusted by hunters, law enforcement professionals, and self-defense practitioners, this bullet offers the kind of accuracy and terminal reliability that reloaders demand from a .45 caliber round. Designed to meet the demands of both revolver and carbine shooters, this 300-grain bullet is ideal for applications requiring serious knockdown power, such as hunting wild boar, bear, or backcountry protection.

The XTP^® design features a swaged lead core for exceptional uniformity, which promotes balance in flight and reliable terminal performance. A drawn gilding metal jacket surrounds the core and extends over the nose of the bullet, eliminating exposed lead for cleaner feeding in semi-automatics and minimizing barrel fouling. Internal serrations are strategically placed around the hollow point cavity to regulate expansion and ensure it performs reliably across a wide range of impact velocities.

With its heavy 300-grain weight, this bullet delivers increased momentum for enhanced penetration. Whether you’re handloading for the .45 Colt, .454 Casull, or other large-bore cartridges, the XTP^® provides a reliable solution for those needing both power and precision. The drawn jacket’s tapered profile controls the rate of expansion without jacket separation, even when encountering bone or other tough barriers.

A cannelure is applied before final bullet shaping to ensure consistent and secure crimping, which is critical for maintaining bullet seating and preventing setback in high-pressure or heavy-recoil loads. For those loading in volume, the Hornady 45 Cal 300gr XTP is available in bulk bullets packaging—an economical choice that doesn’t sacrifice performance.

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.
