Special Features

• Drawn gilding metal jacket varies in wall thickness down the length of the bullet, giving it a clear expansion advantage over plated bullets that carry a uniform jacket thickness throughout.
• Precise serrations divide the XTP into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate controlled expansion even at lower revolver velocities.
• Swaged lead core produces total uniformity in core density, supporting balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability from shot to shot.
• Enclosed nose design keeps the hollow cavity protected so it functions correctly on impact and feeds reliably in semi-automatic pistols chambered in 357 Magnum.
• Cannelure is applied before final forming, giving handloaders a clean, distortion-free crimp seat that locks case mouths consistently for accurate, uniform loads.
• Bullet expansion reaches up to 1.5 times the original diameter on impact while resisting fragmentation for deep, controlled penetration.

Practical Benefits

• The 110 grain weight in .357 diameter works across both 38 Special and 357 Magnum brass, giving you flexibility to load for light target work or full-power defensive and hunting applications from the same bullet supply.
• Handgun hunters pursuing small to medium game will appreciate the reliable expansion across the broad velocity window that revolvers and semi-automatics produce at different barrel lengths.
• Competitive shooters and trainers building precision handloads find the XTP's consistent core geometry translates directly into tighter groups and predictable point of impact.
• The cannelured design makes this bullet ideal for revolver loads where a solid crimp is required to prevent bullet creep under recoil during extended range sessions.
• Your reloaded rounds built on the Hornady XTP (35700) deliver terminal performance on par with factory defensive ammunition, giving you a high-confidence component whether you are loading for the range or the field.

The Hornady XTP (35700), a 38 caliber .357 diameter 110 grain jacketed hollow point, is a proven platform and smart addition to any reloader's bench who demands accurate, consistent, and expansion-reliable bullets for 38 Special and 357 Magnum applications.
