The Hornady XTP 9mm 124 GR hollow point bullet is a proven round for reloaders who demand reliable expansion and consistent performance across a wide range of velocities. Whether you're handloading ammunition for self-defense, hunting, or competitive shooting, the XTP's reputation for controlled expansion and deep penetration has made it a go-to choice for serious shooters and hunters alike. The .355 diameter design ensures proper fit and function in standard 9mm firearms, and at 124 grains you get a balanced projectile that performs predictably downrange.
What sets the XTP apart is its engineering approach to expansion control. The bullet features precise serrations that divide it into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate expansion even at lower velocities. This means you get reliable performance whether you're shooting through a compact carry gun or a full-size pistol. The gilding metal jacket completely covers the nose, protecting it during feeding and allowing the hollow cavity to function as designed on impact—critical for semi-automatic reliability. A swaged core ensures uniform density throughout the bullet, promoting balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability.
The drawn gilding metal jacket uses varying thickness along the bullet's length to control expansion more effectively than plated alternatives, which maintain uniform jacket thickness. For revolver handloaders, the cannelure is applied before the final forming process to help achieve accurate, consistent crimping without distortion. This 100-count box gives you enough quality projectiles to develop loads with confidence and test your handload's performance at the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does XTP stand for and what is it designed for?
XTP stands for eXpanding Tactical Pistol. These bullets are engineered for hunting, self-defense, and competitive shooting applications where reliable expansion and consistent performance are essential.
Will these bullets work in my semi-automatic 9mm pistol?
Yes. The design includes a gilding metal jacket that completely covers the nose, protecting it during feeding and allowing the hollow cavity to function properly on impact. This design ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatics.
Are these bullets suitable for reloading both pistols and revolvers?
Yes. The XTP design works in both semi-automatics and revolvers. The cannelure, found on revolver-specific loadings, is applied before the final forming process to help achieve accurate, consistent crimping.
How does the XTP expand compared to other hollow points?
The XTP features precisely applied serrations that divide the bullet into symmetrical sections and a drawn gilding metal jacket with varying thickness along its length. This design initiates controlled expansion even at lower velocities and provides more effective expansion control than plated bullets, which have uniform jacket thickness throughout.
