Hornady 9mm Cal 147gr XTP

The Hornady 9mm Cal 147gr XTP bullet is engineered for precision, reliability, and powerful terminal performance. Whether used for self-defense, law enforcement, or hunting applications, this projectile offers the kind of expansion and accuracy that has made XTP^® bullets a top choice for serious handgun reloaders. Designed to deliver deep penetration and uniform expansion across a wide range of velocities, this bullet performs exceptionally well in standard and subsonic 9mm loads.

Known for its world-class stopping power, the 147gr XTP is built with a drawn gilding metal jacket that encases a swaged lead core. The jacket features a variable thickness design that helps control expansion while maximizing retained weight, even through barriers. Internal serrations are precisely cut into the jacket to weaken it at specific points, ensuring consistent, symmetrical expansion on impact—even at lower velocities common with suppressed or compact handgun platforms.

The bullet’s cannelure ensures secure crimping, improving feeding reliability in semi-autos and reducing the risk of setback under recoil. This attention to detail makes the Hornady XTP not only incredibly accurate but also exceptionally dependable under pressure. Whether you’re loading for a concealed carry pistol, duty weapon, or subsonic 9mm carbine, the 147gr XTP delivers the balance of accuracy and terminal performance reloaders demand.

Offered in bulk bullets packaging, this Hornady 9mm 147gr XTP is ideal for high-volume shooters and precision-minded reloaders looking to stretch their dollar without sacrificing quality. It’s a smart investment in both performance and protection.

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.
