The Hornady XTP 357 Magnum 158-grain hollow point bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for hunting and self-defense applications. These precision-engineered projectiles feature Hornady's proven XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design that has earned recognition among serious shooters for over three decades.

What Makes This Different

XTP bullets utilize a swaged lead core with precise serrations that control expansion rates across various impact velocities. The gilding metal jacket maintains structural integrity during penetration while the hollow point cavity initiates reliable expansion at velocities as low as 950 fps. This consistent performance separates XTP bullets from standard jacketed hollow points that may fail to expand at reduced velocities or over-expand at high speeds.

Key Features

  • 158-grain weight optimized for .357 Magnum ballistics and energy transfer
  • Controlled expansion hollow point design with precision-cut serrations
  • Swaged lead core eliminates air pockets for consistent weight distribution
  • Gilding metal jacket resists separation during penetration
  • Cannelure provides secure bullet seating and consistent crimp
  • 100-bullet count box with 25 boxes per case (2,500 total bullets)
  • Compatible with standard .357 Magnum and .38 Special cases
Field testing demonstrates XTP bullets maintain 60-75% weight retention while achieving 1.5x diameter expansion in ballistic gelatin. The 158-grain weight provides excellent momentum for hunting medium game at distances up to 150 yards when loaded to appropriate velocities. Law enforcement agencies have documented reliable penetration through common barriers including automotive glass and heavy clothing while maintaining expansion characteristics.
