The Hornady XTP 35700 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for .357 caliber applications. These 110-grain hollow point bullets feature precision manufacturing that ensures consistent performance across hunting and self-defense scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design incorporates controlled expansion technology that prevents over-expansion while maintaining weight retention. Unlike standard hollow points that can fragment or fail to expand reliably, the XTP's precise jacket thickness and cavity geometry deliver consistent mushrooming across velocity ranges from 800 to 1,500 feet per second. The swaged lead core bonds securely to the gilding metal jacket, creating uniform expansion patterns that outperform conventional designs.
Key Features
- Controlled expansion hollow point design maintains 90%+ weight retention
- 110-grain weight optimized for .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P loads
- .357 diameter with precise tolerances for consistent accuracy
- Swaged lead core construction eliminates air pockets and voids
- Gilding metal jacket resists fouling and feed issues
- Knurled cannelure provides secure bullet seating and crimp retention
- 100 bullets per box with consistent lot-to-lot quality control
Field testing demonstrates the XTP 35700's ability to penetrate 12-16 inches in ballistic gelatin while expanding to nearly twice its original diameter. The 110-grain weight provides flat trajectory and manageable recoil in both revolver and carbine platforms. Law enforcement agencies and hunters rely on this bullet weight for medium game and defensive applications where rapid expansion and reliable penetration are critical.
