Hornady XTP Mag 50 Cal .500 350 GR Ammunition - 50 Rounds Per Box

The Hornady XTP Mag 50 Cal .500 350 GR bullet is purpose-built for handgun hunters and serious revolver shooters who demand consistent, controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. Whether you're loading for big-bore hunting, self-defense, or precision target work, these 350-grain rounds deliver the stopping power and reliability that have made XTP ammunition a standard among competitive shooters and field hunters alike.

What sets the XTP Mag apart is Hornady's precision engineering in the bullet itself. Symmetrical serrations strategically weaken the jacket to initiate controlled expansion even when velocity dips below what you'd normally expect from a heavy magnum load. The variable jacket thickness—thicker at the nose, progressively thinner toward the base—ensures balanced, predictable expansion without relying on uniform plating. That design advantage matters when every shot counts in the field or on the range.

For revolver loaders, the pre-applied cannelure (placed before final forming to avoid distortion) locks your crimp in place reliably, shot after shot. Core density is held to strict uniformity, so you get the same in-flight stability and expansion characteristics from every bullet in the box. This is ammunition engineering that respects both precision and performance—no hype, just bullets that work when they matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is XTP Mag ammunition designed for?

XTP Mag bullets are designed for hunting, self-defense, and competition shooting with handguns and large-bore revolvers. The 350-grain .500 caliber load is engineered for powerful magnum revolver platforms where controlled expansion and deep penetration are critical.

Will XTP Mag bullets expand at low velocities?

Yes. The strategic serrations and variable jacket thickness are specifically engineered to initiate controlled expansion reliably even at reduced handgun velocities, giving you consistent performance across a wide range of loads.

Is the cannelure pre-applied on these bullets?

Yes. The cannelure is applied before the final forming process, which ensures it doesn't distort the finished bullet and allows you to achieve accurate, consistent crimping when you reload.

Are these bullets suitable for precision target shooting?

Yes. The uniform core density and controlled design of XTP Mag bullets support in-flight stability, making them suitable for both target shooters and hunters who demand accuracy alongside stopping power.
