The Hornady XTP 32 Cal .312 85gr Hollow Point is a purpose-built handgun bullet for reloaders who demand reliable performance in hunting and defensive loads. With a century of ballistic science backing the XTP line, these bullets bring proven expansion characteristics and accuracy to your handloads—whether you're loading for a revolver or semi-automatic platform. Each box contains 100 projectiles ready to load.
What makes the XTP stand out is its engineered construction: a drawn gilding metal jacket with variable thickness controls expansion across a wide velocity range, while internal serrations divide the bullet into symmetrical sections to initiate consistent mushrooming even from lower-velocity handgun loads. The swaged lead core ensures uniform density, delivering balanced expansion and reliable in-flight stability shot after shot. A cannelure on revolver loads helps you achieve precise crimping without jacket distortion.
Reloaders working up 32 caliber handloads will appreciate the XTP's no-exposed-lead design—the gilding metal jacket protects the nose cavity, so it functions reliably on impact and feeds smoothly in semi-automatics. This is serious bullet engineering for shooters who refuse to compromise on consistency or results, whether you're preparing loads for the range, hunting applications, or defensive carry.
