The Hornady XTP 32 Cal .312 100gr hollow point bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for hunting and self-defense applications. These precision-manufactured projectiles feature Hornady's proven XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design that has earned a reputation among reloaders for reliable terminal ballistics.
What Makes This Different
The XTP hollow point design incorporates controlled expansion technology that ensures uniform mushrooming across a wide range of velocities. Unlike standard hollow points that may fail to expand at lower velocities or over-expand at higher speeds, the XTP maintains structural integrity while delivering optimal energy transfer. The swaged lead core and precisely drawn gilding metal jacket work together to achieve expansion ratios typically ranging from 1.5x to 2x original diameter.
Key Features
- Controlled expansion hollow point design for consistent terminal performance
- Swaged lead core with uniform density distribution
- Drawn gilding metal jacket for enhanced accuracy and feeding
- 100-grain weight optimized for 32 caliber cartridges
- .312 inch diameter compatible with 32 ACP, 32 H&R Magnum, and 327 Federal Magnum
- Serrated jacket mouth promotes reliable expansion initiation
- 100 bullets per box for extended reloading sessions
These bullets perform effectively in both revolver and semi-automatic platforms, maintaining accuracy while delivering the expansion characteristics needed for hunting small to medium game or personal protection scenarios. The 100-grain weight provides sufficient momentum for deep penetration while the hollow point cavity ensures rapid energy transfer upon impact. Testing data shows consistent expansion even through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers.
