Hornady XTP 32 Cal .312 85gr Hollow Point Bullets - 100 Count

The Hornady XTP 32050 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for .32 caliber handloaders seeking consistent terminal performance. These 85-grain hollow point bullets feature Hornady's proven XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design that has set the standard for defensive ammunition components since 1990.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard hollow points that can fail to expand or over-expand, XTP bullets utilize a precisely engineered cavity with controlled wall thickness variations. The swaged lead core bonds securely to the gilding metal jacket, preventing core separation even through heavy clothing or intermediate barriers. Independent testing shows XTP bullets achieve 1.5x to 2x diameter expansion while retaining 90-95% of their original weight.

Key Features

• Controlled expansion hollow point design for reliable terminal performance
• Swaged lead core construction prevents jacket separation
• Precise .312" diameter for optimal bore fit in 32 ACP, 32 S&W Long, and 327 Federal Magnum
• 85-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration
• Gilding metal jacket resists deformation during feeding
• Cannelured design allows consistent crimp and powder charge positioning
• 100 bullets per box for extended reloading sessions

These bullets perform consistently across velocity ranges from 700 to 1,400 fps, making them suitable for both low-pressure cartridges like 32 ACP and magnum applications. The hollow point cavity initiates expansion reliably in ballistic gelatin while the thick jacket walls prevent fragmentation. Law enforcement agencies and competitive shooters rely on XTP bullets for match-grade accuracy combined with defensive capability.
