Hornady 45235 XTP Mag 45 Cal .452 300 GR Hollow Point 50 Per Box

The Hornady XTP Mag is a premium handgun bullet engineered for shooters who demand deeper penetration and reliable expansion in magnum-velocity loads. Built on decades of XTP bullet heritage, these .452-caliber, 300-grain hollow points step up the performance envelope specifically for powerful handguns that run hotter than standard loads. Whether you're loading for personal defense in a magnum revolver or taking medium-game at extended range, XTP Mag bullets are designed to deliver the controlled expansion and stopping power magnum shooters expect.

The engineering here matters: Hornady's serrated, symmetrical cavity design initiates expansion even at lower velocities, while the drawn gilding-metal jacket tapers in thickness along the bullet's length—a deliberate advantage over plated projectiles with uniform jacket density. The result is predictable, balanced expansion paired with the deeper penetration that separates a magnum round from standard offerings. The swaged core ensures uniform density for in-flight stability and consistent expansion across a string of shots, and the cannelure on each bullet aids revolver crimping for accurate, repeatable loads.

These are serious reloading components for serious shooters. If you're working up loads for a .45 Magnum or similar high-velocity application and want bullets that perform at magnum energy levels, XTP Mag is the choice that has proven itself in the field and on the range. Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you plenty to develop and shoot your preferred load.

• Purpose-built for magnum-velocity handgun loads and medium-game hunting

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between XTP Mag and standard XTP bullets?

XTP Mag bullets are engineered to handle the higher velocities and impact forces of magnum handguns while delivering deeper penetration than standard XTP rounds. The drawn jacket and serration design are optimized for magnum-level performance.

Will these bullets work in semi-automatic handguns?

Yes. The gilding-metal jacket with no exposed lead and the hollow-point design ensure proper feeding in semi-automatic platforms.

Are these suitable for handloading revolver ammunition?

Absolutely. The integrated cannelure is specifically applied before final forming to enable accurate, consistent crimping in revolver loads without distorting the finished bullet.

What are XTP Mag bullets designed for?

These bullets are engineered for personal defense in magnum handguns and medium-game hunting applications where deeper penetration and magnum-velocity performance are required.
