The XTP bullet, engineered for hunting, self-defense and law enforcement applications, exemplifies the precision that has prompted numerous competitive shooters to utilize it. Its dependable performance has established the XTP as the preferred handgun bullet among both target shooters and hunters. However, it is the XTP bullet's stopping power that has solidified its world-class reputation. From inception, XTP bullets have been meticulously designed to expand consistently across a broad spectrum of handgun velocities, ensuring deep penetration with each shot. The gilding metal jacket encapsulates the bullet's nose, safeguarding the hollow cavity's functionality upon impact and ensuring optimal feeding performance in semi-automatic firearms, with no exposed lead Swaged core - ensures optimal core density uniformity, facilitating balanced expansion and enhancing in-flight stability for superior performance The XTP features precise serrations that segment it into symmetrical sections This design strategically weakens the jacket, facilitating controlled expansion even at low velocities The expansion of the drawn gilding metal jacket is regulated by adjusting the jacket thickness along the length of the XTP This design offers a distinct advantage over plated bullets, which maintain a uniform jacket thickness throughout the entire bullet The cannelure on revolver bullets facilitates precise and consistent crimping All cannelures are applied prior to the final forming process to prevent any distortion of the finished bullet
