Hornady XTP 35710 .357 Cal 125gr Hollow Point Bullets - 100 Count

The Hornady XTP 35710 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for .357 caliber handloaders seeking consistent terminal performance. These 125-grain hollow point bullets feature the proven XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design that has earned recognition among law enforcement and civilian shooters for over three decades.

What Makes This Different

The XTP construction uses a precisely engineered jacket with controlled wall thickness variations that ensure reliable expansion across a wide velocity range. Unlike standard hollow points that may plug with clothing or debris, the XTP's deeper hollow point cavity and serrated jacket initiate expansion more consistently. The swaged lead core bonds securely to the gilding metal jacket, preventing core-jacket separation that reduces penetration effectiveness.

Key Features

• 125-grain weight optimized for .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P velocities
• Controlled expansion hollow point design with serrated jacket
• Swaged lead core construction for uniform density and balance
• Gilding metal jacket resists fouling and ensures smooth feeding
• Cannelure provides secure bullet seating and consistent crimping
• Diameter of .357 inches with precise tolerances for accuracy
• Bulk packaging of 100 bullets reduces cost per round for volume reloaders

Field testing demonstrates the XTP 125-grain maintains structural integrity through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers while achieving 1.5x diameter expansion in ballistic gelatin. The moderate weight makes it suitable for both defensive applications and medium game hunting within appropriate ranges. Temperature stability ensures consistent performance from sub-freezing to desert conditions.
