HORNADY 45235 XTP MAG 45 CAL .452 300 GRAIN HOLLOW POINT 50 CNT

Hornady XTP Mag hollow point component bullets in 45 caliber .452 diameter at 300 grains (45235) are a heavy-duty handgun projectile built for reloaders who run ultra-powerful magnum revolvers and demand deeper penetration and controlled expansion at higher velocities than standard XTP bullets deliver. These 45 cal magnum hunting and defense reloading bullets come 50 per box and are engineered specifically to withstand the extreme velocities and impact forces generated by full-power magnum handgun cartridges.

• Jacket material: Drawn gilding metal
• Core material: Cold-swaged lead
• Count per box: 50
• Application: Personal defense, medium game hunting 50 to 300 lbs

Special Features

• The XTP Mag is engineered specifically for ultra-powerful magnum handguns, reinforcing the jacket and core construction beyond standard XTP specifications to withstand higher velocities and harder impacts without fragmenting.
• Precise serrations divide the jacket into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening it to initiate controlled expansion even at low velocities while holding the bullet together at the extreme upper end of magnum velocity ranges.
• Jacket thickness varies down the length of the bullet, giving the XTP Mag 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 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 .45 Colt and .454 Casull brass loaded to magnum pressures, giving you a component purpose-built for the revolvers and lever-action carbines that run these cartridges hard.
• The 300-grain weight delivers exceptional sectional density for deep penetration on medium to large game, making these a natural fit for hunting applications where a heavy, controlled-expansion projectile is required.
• The XTP Mag construction expands reliably to approximately 1.5 times its original diameter across the broad velocity spectrum of magnum handgun loads, giving you consistent terminal results from moderate to full-power charges.
• If you reload for a magnum revolver and need a heavy component that holds together at the top end of the pressure curve, the Hornady XTP Mag (45235) gives your hunting and defensive handloads the terminal integrity and penetration your magnum platform demands.

The Hornady XTP Mag 45 Cal .452 300 Grain (45235) is a capable tool and confident choice for the serious magnum revolver reloader seeking a proven platform for medium game hunting and personal defense applications.
