Hornady 9mm Cal 115gr XTP

The Hornady 9mm Cal 115gr XTP bullet is a top-tier choice for self-defense, law enforcement, and hunting applications. Known for its accuracy, reliability, and balanced performance, this lightweight XTP^® projectile delivers fast velocities, controlled expansion, and deep penetration across a wide range of 9mm handgun platforms. From compact concealed carry pistols to full-size duty guns, the 115gr XTP offers consistent and effective results for shooters of all levels.

Designed to function across a broad range of velocities, the 115gr XTP is a versatile option that performs exceptionally well in both standard pressure and +P 9mm loads. Its performance begins with Hornady’s drawn gilding metal jacket, which completely encases the bullet’s tip to prevent lead fouling and ensure reliable feeding in semi-automatic handguns. The jacket is strategically serrated to guide expansion and maintain structural integrity at impact.

The bullet’s swaged lead core is formed with perfect uniformity, ensuring that balance, stability, and terminal performance remain consistent shot after shot. The tapered jacket is engineered with variable thickness to guide expansion while retaining bullet mass, making it ideal for defensive loads where reliability is critical. Its lighter weight allows for faster velocities and flatter trajectories, further improving its effectiveness in real-world scenarios.

Each bullet also features a cannelure that is applied before the final forming process. This supports accurate, repeatable crimping, improving safety and performance under high pressure and rapid cycling conditions. For reloaders looking to create high-quality defensive or practice ammunition, the Hornady 9mm 115gr XTP is also available in bulk bullets packaging—offering great value without compromising on 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.
