Hornady XTP 45 Cal .451 200gr Hollow Point Bullets - 100/Box

The Hornady XTP 45140 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for serious .45 caliber applications. These 200-grain hollow point bullets feature Hornady's proven XTP design that has set the standard for defensive and hunting ammunition performance for over three decades.

What Makes This Different

The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design uses precise serrations and a swaged lead core to ensure controlled expansion at velocities from 800 to 1500 fps. Unlike standard hollow points that may fail to expand or over-expand, the XTP maintains 95% weight retention while creating consistent wound channels. The cannelured bullet design locks securely with case necks to prevent bullet setback during feeding.

Key Features

• 200-grain weight optimized for .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .454 Casull applications
• Controlled expansion hollow point with six precision-cut serrations
• Swaged lead core with gilding metal jacket for consistent performance
• .451 inch diameter with tight dimensional tolerances
• Cannelure groove prevents bullet setback in magazine-fed firearms
• Works in velocities from 800-1500 fps across multiple cartridges
• 100 bullets per box with consistent weight sorting

Field testing shows the XTP 200-grain consistently penetrates 12-18 inches in ballistic gelatin while expanding to 1.5 times original diameter. The design performs reliably in both short-barrel defensive pistols and longer hunting revolvers. Temperature stability from -20°F to 140°F ensures consistent terminal performance across seasonal conditions.
