Hornady 45 Cal 300gr XTP Mag
The Hornady 45 Cal 300gr XTP® Mag bullet is built for serious power, offering deep penetration, controlled expansion, and the rugged durability required for magnum handgun loads. Whether you’re hunting medium game with a revolver or loading for powerful backcountry sidearms like the .454 Casull or .460 S&W, this bullet delivers unmatched reliability and accuracy. As part of Hornady’s premium bullet lineup, the XTP® Mag goes a step beyond the standard XTP®, designed to withstand the higher velocities and pressures generated by ultra-powerful handguns.
The 300-grain weight delivers hard-hitting performance, making it ideal for larger game or dangerous animals where deep penetration is critical. The XTP® Mag features Hornady’s drawn gilding metal jacket that wraps around the bullet and is precisely tapered to control the rate of expansion. Internal serrations around the hollow point cavity aid in producing uniform expansion without fragmentation, even when velocities drop at longer distances or from shorter barrels.
Hornady’s swaged lead core provides total uniformity for flight stability and terminal consistency. The heavier construction of the XTP® Mag enhances weight retention, ensuring the bullet stays intact through bone, hide, and muscle. This makes it an outstanding choice for handgun hunters and those relying on high-energy handgun loads for wilderness defense or large game applications.
A precisely formed cannelure ensures reliable crimping and prevents bullet setback in high-recoil environments—essential for magnum revolvers. The Hornady 45 Cal 300gr XTP® Mag is also available in bulk bullets packaging, offering reloaders a high-value option for producing consistent, high-performance loads at scale.
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.
