Hornady 9245 Custom 50 AE 300gr XTP Hollow Point Ammo 20 Rounds

The Hornady 9245 Custom ammunition delivers maximum stopping power for 50 Action Express firearms with precision-engineered 300-grain XTP hollow point bullets. This premium defensive ammunition combines controlled expansion with deep penetration for reliable terminal performance in large-bore handguns.

What Makes This Different

Hornady's XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet design features precise serrations and a swaged core that ensures consistent expansion across various velocities. Unlike standard hollow points that may over-expand or under-penetrate, the XTP bullet maintains structural integrity while delivering controlled expansion up to 1.5 times original diameter. The Custom line represents Hornady's premium handgun ammunition, loaded to exact specifications with match-grade components.

The 50 Action Express cartridge demands ammunition engineered for extreme pressures and heavy bullet weights. This load balances manageable recoil with devastating terminal ballistics, making it suitable for hunting large game, personal protection, and recreational shooting. The XTP bullet's jacket thickness varies from tip to base, promoting expansion while preventing fragmentation that could reduce penetration depth.
