HORNADY 45140 XTP 45 CAL .451 200 GRAIN HOLLOW POINT 100 CNT

Hornady XTP (45140) component bullets give reloaders a mid-weight 45 caliber hollow point for handloading 45 ACP, 45 Colt, and compatible cartridges where controlled expansion at low velocities and match-grade accuracy are equally important. These 45 caliber .451 diameter 200 grain jacketed hollow point bullets pack 100 per box and are a proven reloading component for self-defense handloaders, hunters, and competitive shooters who want a versatile 45 caliber hollow point that opens reliably starting at velocities as low as 850 fps.

Special Features

• Drawn gilding metal jacket varies in wall thickness down the length of the bullet, initiating controlled expansion at velocities as low as 850 fps where standard hollow points often fail to open in compact and short-barrel 45 ACP pistols.
• Precise serrations divide the XTP into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to prevent fragmentation at higher velocities while still delivering consistent expansion at lower ones.
• Swaged lead core delivers total uniformity in density, supporting balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability across the full velocity range that 45 ACP and 45 Colt firearms produce.
• Enclosed nose design protects the hollow cavity from deformation during feeding, ensuring reliable function through the feeding ramps of semi-automatic 45 ACP pistols and consistent impact performance on target.
• Heavier jacket construction handles elevated pressure loads in 45 Colt revolvers and hot 45 ACP handloads without sacrificing the controlled expansion the XTP platform delivers.

Practical Benefits

• The 200 grain weight sits between the lighter 185 grain and heavier 230 grain 45 ACP standards, giving reloaders a middle-ground option that produces better expansion than the 185 grain at standard velocities while retaining more velocity than the 230 grain.
• Self-defense handloaders building compact carry pistol loads get a bullet specifically proven to expand reliably at the lower velocities short barrels produce, where many hollow points fail entirely.
• Hunters running 45 Colt revolvers for small to medium game will find the XTP expands consistently across the broad velocity window that different revolver barrel lengths generate.
• Your handloads built on the Hornady XTP (45140) deliver the same terminal performance DNA found in factory defensive ammunition, giving you a high-confidence 45 caliber component for the range, field, or home defense.

The Hornady XTP (45140), a 45 caliber .451 diameter 200 grain jacketed hollow point, is a proven platform and practical choice for reloaders who need a versatile, low-velocity-capable, and accurately expanding bullet for 45 ACP and 45 Colt self-defense, hunting, and competition applications.
