Special Features

• Precise serrations divide the XTP jacket into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening it to initiate controlled expansion even at low velocities while preventing fragmentation at high velocities.
• Jacket thickness varies down the length of the bullet, giving the XTP a controlled expansion advantage over plated bullets that carry uniform jacket thickness throughout.
• The cold-swaged lead core produces total density uniformity, ensuring balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability shot to shot.
• The gilding metal jacket fully covers the nose and hollow cavity, protecting proper function on impact and ensuring reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols.
• The cannelure is applied before final bullet forming, allowing accurate and consistent crimp engagement without distorting the finished bullet profile.

Practical Benefits

• These bullets are compatible with .44 Special and .44 Magnum brass, giving you one proven component that works across revolvers, lever-action carbines, and semi-automatic pistols chambered in .44 caliber.
• The 200-grain weight adds sectional density over lighter .44 cal options, producing deeper penetration that makes these a practical choice for medium game hunting where reliable tissue penetration matters.
• The XTP design expands reliably up to 1.5 times its original diameter, delivering consistent terminal results whether you build a moderate .44 Special defensive load or a full-power .44 Magnum hunting charge.
• If you reload for a .44 caliber platform and want a heavier component that bridges personal defense and hunting performance, the Hornady XTP (44100) gives your handloads the terminal reliability your setup demands.

The Hornady XTP 44 Cal .430 200 Grain (44100) is a solid fit for the serious .44 caliber reloader seeking a dependable option for personal defense and medium game hunting applications.
