The Hornady XTP 44100 delivers consistent terminal performance for .44 caliber handgun applications. These 200-grain hollow point bullets feature controlled expansion technology that maintains structural integrity while maximizing stopping power.
What Makes This Different
Hornady's eXtreme Terminal Performance (XTP) design incorporates precise serrations and a swaged lead core that controls expansion rates across various velocities. Unlike standard hollow points that may over-expand at high velocities or under-perform at lower speeds, XTP bullets maintain optimal performance across the .44 caliber's velocity range. The manufacturing process ensures each bullet meets strict weight and dimensional tolerances for consistent accuracy.
Key Features
- 200-grain weight optimized for .44 Special and .44 Magnum applications
- .430 inch diameter with precise manufacturing tolerances
- Controlled expansion hollow point design for reliable terminal performance
- Swaged lead core bonded to gilding metal jacket
- Strategic serrations prevent jacket separation during expansion
- 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions
- Compatible with standard .44 caliber reloading components
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 800 to 1,400 feet per second, making these bullets suitable for both .44 Special and .44 Magnum loads. The controlled expansion characteristics provide effective performance for hunting medium game, while maintaining accuracy standards required for competitive shooting. The jacket design resists deformation during feeding in revolvers and maintains concentricity for consistent flight paths.
