HORNADY 45 Cal .451 230 gr HP XTP

Product Features

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 which have 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.
