Hornady Handgun Bullets .38 cal .357" 125 gr FP/XTP 100/ct

The Hornady Handgun Bullets .38 cal .357" 125 gr FP/XTP 100/ct is a premium reloading component designed for shooters who demand consistent accuracy and reliable performance from their .38 Special and .357 Magnum handloads. These 125-grain bullets serve competitive shooters, law enforcement trainers, and recreational handgun enthusiasts who reload their own ammunition and require quality projectiles that deliver tight shot groups and dependable expansion characteristics downrange.

Each box contains 100 individually inspected bullets manufactured to exacting Hornady standards. The FP/XTP designation combines a flat point profile with Hornady's proven eXtreme Terminal Performance core-bond construction, which locks the lead core to the copper jacket to ensure consistent weight retention and controlled expansion upon impact. This design balances velocity stability with terminal ballistics, making these bullets suitable for both target practice loads and defensive applications where reliable bullet performance matters. The .357" diameter and 125-grain weight are optimized for moderate velocity regimes typical in .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges, ensuring stable flight and predictable trajectory.

Handloaders working up ammunition for revolvers—from compact snubnose frames to full-size service pistols—will find these bullets perform well across a wide range of powders and primer combinations. The 125-grain mass is particularly popular for shooters seeking a balance between recoil management and stopping power in both .38 Special standard-pressure loads and full-power .357 Magnum recipes. Whether you're reloading for personal defense, competition, or high-volume range training, Hornady's quality control and bullet design reputation ensure consistent chamber feeding, minimal runout, and predictable performance shot after shot.
