Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) Series Reloading Bullet - Designed for hunting, self-defense and law enforcement applications, the XTPA(R) bullet demonstrates the kind of accuracy which led many competitive shooters to adopt it. 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 semiautomatics.; Swaged Core - Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion as well as inflight 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.;
