Hornady XTP MAG 45 Cal .452 240gr Bullets - 100ct Box

The Hornady XTP MAG 240-grain bullets deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration for serious 45 caliber applications. These premium hunting bullets feature the proven XTP design optimized for magnum velocities and large game performance.

What Makes This Different

The XTP MAG construction uses a thicker jacket and controlled expansion cavity specifically engineered for magnum cartridge velocities. Unlike standard XTP bullets, the MAG version maintains structural integrity at higher impact speeds while delivering 1.5x diameter expansion. The swaged lead core and precise jacket thickness create consistent weight retention above 90% across velocity ranges from 1,200 to 1,800 fps.

Key Features

• 240-grain weight optimized for .45 Colt, .454 Casull, and .460 S&W applications
• Controlled expansion cavity engineered for 1.5x diameter mushrooming
• .452 diameter with precise tolerances for consistent accuracy
• Swaged lead core bonded to gilding metal jacket for weight retention
• Cannelure placement designed for proper cartridge overall length
• 100 bullets per box with consistent sorting and inspection
• Compatible with standard reloading dies and powder charges

Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion on medium to large game at distances from 25 to 150 yards. The bullet maintains trajectory stability in revolvers and single-shot firearms while delivering sufficient energy transfer for ethical harvests. Weather conditions have minimal impact on accuracy due to the aerodynamic profile and consistent manufacturing tolerances.
