The Hornady reloading division stands firm on the principles of quality and innovation, setting a high standard in the art and science of handloading. For those who seek to tailor their ammunition with precision, Hornady offers tools that make this endeavor both safe and straightforward.
The 10mm XTP® bullet is crafted for versatility—equally adept at handling varmints, medium game, or serving personal defense needs. This adaptability has earned it favor among hunters, law enforcement officers, and competitive shooters alike. Its hallmark accuracy stems from meticulous design features that ensure performance under various conditions.
A key feature is its precise serrations which divide the bullet into symmetrical sections. These serrations weaken the jacket strategically to initiate controlled expansion—even at lower velocities—ensuring deep penetration upon impact.
Total uniformity in core density contributes not only to balanced expansion but also enhances in-flight stability—a critical factor for maintaining accuracy over distance. The variation in jacket thickness along the length of the bullet further refines its expansion characteristics compared to plated bullets with uniform jackets.
An added advantage for revolver users is found in its cannelure design that ensures accurate and consistent crimping without distorting the finished product—a testament to Hornady's commitment to excellence throughout production stages.
This dedication results in a reliable projectile whose stopping power has built an enviable reputation worldwide—truly embodying what one expects from a world-class handgun bullet like no other: reliability fused with formidable performance capabilities across diverse applications.
