The Hornady 90282 Custom 9mm Luger ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance with its proven 147-grain XTP hollow point design. This subsonic load combines controlled expansion with deep penetration for reliable stopping power in defensive applications.
What Makes This Different
The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet features a precisely engineered hollow point cavity that ensures controlled expansion across a wide range of velocities. Unlike standard ball ammunition, the serrated jacket design promotes reliable expansion while maintaining weight retention of 90% or higher. The 147-grain projectile operates at subsonic velocities, reducing muzzle flash and noise signature compared to lighter, faster loads.
Key Features
- 147-grain XTP hollow point bullet with controlled expansion design
- Subsonic velocity reduces muzzle flash and sound signature
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Consistent powder charges for reliable cycling in semi-automatic pistols
- Serrated jacket construction promotes uniform expansion
- Premium components manufactured to strict quality standards
- 25 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (250 total rounds)
This ammunition performs consistently in both compact and full-size 9mm pistols, making it suitable for concealed carry, home defense, and law enforcement applications. The subsonic velocity profile works particularly well with suppressed firearms, maintaining reliable cycling while reducing overall noise levels. Testing demonstrates consistent accuracy and reliable feeding across multiple pistol platforms.
