The Hornady XTP 45160 delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for .45 caliber handloaders seeking consistent terminal performance. These 230-grain hollow point bullets feature Hornady's proven XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) design that has earned recognition among competitive shooters and law enforcement professionals.

What Makes This Different

The XTP bullet construction utilizes a precisely engineered jacket with controlled wall thickness that ensures reliable expansion at velocities from 800 to 1,500 fps. Unlike standard hollow points that may fragment or fail to expand, the XTP maintains structural integrity while creating consistent wound channels. The serrated jacket sections promote uniform expansion across varying impact velocities, making these bullets effective in both standard and +P loadings.

Key Features

  • 230-grain weight optimized for .45 ACP and .45 Colt applications
  • Controlled expansion design functions reliably from 800-1,500 fps
  • Precise .451 diameter with tight tolerance manufacturing
  • Serrated jacket sections ensure uniform mushrooming
  • Lead core bonded to jacket prevents separation on impact
  • Cannelure provides consistent crimp and bullet seating
  • 100 bullets per box with bulk case pricing available
These bullets excel in personal defense loads where reliable expansion and penetration are critical. The XTP design has proven effective in FBI ballistic gelatin testing, consistently achieving 12-18 inches of penetration while expanding to 1.5 times original diameter. Competition shooters appreciate the accuracy potential, with many reporting sub-2 MOA groups at 25 yards when properly loaded. The consistent weight and dimensions make load development predictable across different powder charges.
