Hornady HAP (Hornady action pistol) bullets are engineered to provide a competitive advantage. Based on the renowned XTP bullet design, HAP bullets have been further refined to serve as the ideal competition projectile. Unlike XTP bullets, which incorporate serrations to facilitate controlled expansion and terminal performance, HAP bullets have these features removed, resulting in a streamlined and balanced projectile. The protected nose design enhances consistent and reliable feeding in autoloading pistols. The bullet jackets, characterized by industry-leading concentricity, combined with precision-swaged cores, ensure superior accuracy and performance. No exposed lead - a malfunction can critically impact a competitive shooter's performance, hence, our copper jacket encases the HAP bullet's nose to ensure seamless operation The HAP bullet's core is precision cold-swaged from pure lead, ensuring optimal consistency, aerodynamic balance and flight stability, thereby achieving exceptional pinpoint accuracy with each discharge The gilding metal jacket serves to protect the projectile's nose and facilitates smooth feeding Designed for competitive use - in action pistol shooting, expansion is not a concern, therefore, we have eliminated the expansion-aiding skives This modification results in a bullet that provides the precision its streamlined design suggests
