The Hornady XTP 9mm 147 grain hollow point bullets deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration for serious applications. These subsonic-weight projectiles maintain accuracy while reducing muzzle blast and recoil in 9mm handloads.
What Makes This Different
The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design features a precisely engineered hollow point cavity that controls expansion across a wide range of velocities. Unlike standard hollow points that may over-expand at high velocities or fail to open at lower speeds, the XTP maintains reliable performance from 800 to 1400 fps. The swaged lead core and gilding metal jacket create uniform weight distribution for superior accuracy.
Key Features
- 147 grain subsonic weight reduces noise and felt recoil
- Controlled expansion hollow point cavity for reliable terminal performance
- .355 diameter with precise tolerances for consistent chambering
- Swaged lead core eliminates air pockets and voids
- Gilding metal jacket resists fouling and barrel wear
- Cannelure groove provides consistent bullet seating depth
- 100 bullets per box for extended reloading sessions
These bullets excel in applications requiring subsonic performance, including suppressed firearms and precision target shooting. The heavier 147-grain weight maintains stability at lower velocities while delivering sufficient energy for defensive applications. Law enforcement agencies favor this weight for reduced overpenetration risk in urban environments.
