Hrndy Xtp 44cal .430 240gr 100ct

The Hornady XTP .44 Caliber .430" 240 Grain projectiles (100 count) represent purpose-built ammunition components for handloaders who demand precision and reliable expansion in medium to large-frame revolvers and lever-action rifles. XTP stands for eXtreme Terminal Performance, Hornady's flagship hollow-point design engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration across a wide velocity range—critical for hunting, personal defense, and specialized law enforcement applications where energy transfer and shot placement determine outcomes.

Each 240-grain projectile features a gilding metal jacket that protects the bullet nose during handling and feeding while promoting balanced, controlled expansion upon impact. The swaged lead core—mechanically formed rather than poured—ensures uniform weight distribution and consistent ballistic performance from round to round. This manufacturing process reduces variability in velocity spreads, a critical factor for handloaders who use chronographs and precision loading techniques to optimize accuracy. The .430" diameter fits .44 Magnum, .44 Special, and .44-40 Winchester specifications. At 240 grains, this projectile weight delivers the velocity envelope and stopping power that .44 caliber is known for while remaining compatible with standard brass and commonly available powders in published reloading manuals.

Serious handloaders and precision shooters rely on Hornady XTP bullets for consistency and terminal performance. Whether developing ammunition for a Ruger Redhawk, S&W Model 29, or Marlin lever gun, the 240-grain XTP delivers the energy density and expansion characteristics that hunters and defensive shooters expect from a medium to heavy .44 caliber load. The 100-count box provides sufficient quantity for load development, range testing, and field use without requiring frequent reordering.

Hornady's reloading division prioritizes quality control, continuous innovation, and real-world performance data across its product line. The XTP line has established itself as the benchmark hollow-point for handloaders who refuse compromise on accuracy, reliability, or terminal ballistics.
