Hornady Handgun Bullets .44 cal .430" 240 gr XTPHP 100/ct

Hornady Handgun Bullets .44 caliber .430" 240 grain XTP HP are purpose-built projectiles engineered for consistent expansion and deep penetration across a wide velocity envelope. The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) hollow point design delivers controlled mushrooming that has established itself as a benchmark round for handgun hunters, competitive shooters, and law enforcement applications. Each box contains 100 rounds, providing sufficient quantity for serious practice sessions, load development, or field use without excessive reordering.

The .44 caliber .430" diameter and 240-grain weight represent a balanced approach to medium-bore ballistics—offering substantial sectional density for deep penetration while maintaining manageable recoil in standard revolvers. The XTP bullet's proven jacket-to-core bond resists premature separation under high-velocity impact, critical for consistent performance downrange. The hollow point cavity initiates reliable expansion, while the bullet's length and weight optimize trajectory stability. Hornady's quality control on this round ensures consistent dimensions and performance shot-to-shot, supporting both accuracy work and hunting applications where terminal performance is non-negotiable.

This ammunition specification serves revolver shooters handloading for hunting medium game, those developing loads for competition, and shooters who demand proven terminal characteristics in a readily available projectile. The .44 Special and .44 Magnum platforms remain popular platforms for this bullet weight, with velocity ranges supporting both standard and magnum loadings depending on powder and primer selection. Handloaders value XTP bullets for the repeatable performance and expansion characteristics they deliver across varying velocities—a critical advantage when working up loads in rifles or pistols where muzzle velocity can vary significantly.
