Hornady HAP (Hornady action pistol) bullets provide a competitive advantage. Based on the renowned XTP bullet design, HAP bullets are meticulously refined to serve as the ideal competition projectile. Unlike XTP bullets, which incorporate serrations for controlled expansion and terminal performance, HAP bullets are designed without these features, resulting in a streamlined and balanced projectile. The protected nose design ensures consistent and reliable feeding in autoloading pistols. The bullet jackets, characterized by industry-leading concentricity, combined with precision-swaged cores, offer exceptional 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
