The Hornady XTP 35740 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for .357 caliber applications. These 140-grain hollow point bullets feature the proven XTP design that has set the standard for hunting and self-defense ammunition components for over three decades.
What Makes This Different
The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design incorporates precise serrations and a swaged core that controls expansion from low to high velocities. Unlike standard hollow points that may fail to expand at lower velocities or fragment at higher speeds, the XTP maintains structural integrity while delivering consistent mushrooming. The controlled expansion typically achieves 1.5x original diameter while retaining 95% of bullet weight.
Key Features
- 140-grain weight optimized for .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P loads
- Swaged lead core eliminates air pockets for uniform expansion
- Precise hollow point cavity with engineered serrations
- Cannelured shank provides secure case mouth crimp
- Gilding metal jacket resists barrel fouling
- 100 bullets per box with 25 boxes per case (2,500 total)
- Diameter: .357 inch with tight manufacturing tolerances
These bullets excel in both hunting applications on medium game and personal protection scenarios. The 140-grain weight provides excellent penetration through heavy clothing and barriers while maintaining expansion reliability. Law enforcement agencies have documented consistent performance through automotive glass and clothing layers. The XTP design functions reliably in revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered for .357 Magnum.
