Hornady XTP 44 Cal .430 300 GR Hollow Point Bullets - 50 Count Box

The Hornady XTP 44 Cal .430 300 GR Hollow Point Bullets are a trusted reloading component for shooters who demand consistent, field-proven performance. Built on decades of real-world use in hunting and defensive applications, these jacketed hollow-point bullets deliver the controlled expansion and deep penetration that have made XTP ammunition the choice of competitive reloaders and hunters who refuse compromise.

What sets the XTP apart is engineering, not hype. The gilding metal jacket is drawn—not plated—which allows Hornady to vary jacket thickness along the bullet's length and control expansion across a wide velocity range. Even at lower handgun speeds, the precisely serrated design initiates reliable mushrooming. The swaged core ensures uniform density, so every round expands in balance and flies true. And because the jacket covers the hollow point nose, feeding remains reliable in semi-automatic firearms while the cavity performs as intended on impact.

These .430-diameter, 300-grain projectiles come loaded with a cannelure, which aids accurate crimping on revolver handloads and was applied before final forming to prevent distortion. At 50 rounds per box, you get a proven platform for reloading 44 Magnum, 44 Special, or other .44-caliber handgun loads where accuracy and terminal performance matter—whether you're testing loads at the range or preparing for hunting season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What handgun loads can I use these bullets in?

These .430-diameter, 300-grain XTP bullets are designed for .44-caliber handgun cartridges, including 44 Magnum and 44 Special. Always verify bullet diameter and weight match your specific load data and firearm.

Why does the cannelure matter for reloading?

The cannelure provides a precise seating groove that helps you achieve consistent, accurate crimping on revolver handloads. Hornady applies the cannelure before final bullet forming to prevent distortion and ensure uniformity.

Will these feed reliably in semi-automatic firearms?

Yes. The gilding metal jacket completely covers the hollow-point nose, eliminating exposed lead and ensuring proper feeding in semi-automatic platforms while allowing the cavity to function as designed on impact.

How many bullets are in a box?

Each box contains 50 XTP bullets.
