Hornady Handgun Bullets .44 cal .430" 300 gr XTPHP 50/ct

The Hornady Handgun Bullets .44 cal .430" 300 gr XTPHP 50/ct are engineered for shooters who demand absolute consistency and terminal performance in the field. These heavy 300-grain projectiles provide the deep penetration required for large game hunting and high-stakes self-defense applications where stopping power is non-negotiable. By focusing on uniform expansion and match-grade accuracy, Hornady has created a bullet that effectively bridges the gap between competitive target shooting and real-world tactical utility. This specific weight class is particularly favored by those using high-capacity revolvers or lever-action carbines for serious field work.

The technical core of the eXtreme Terminal Performance design lies in its precisely drawn copper jacket and swaged lead core which work in tandem to deliver results. Strategic serrations in the jacket nose ensure controlled expansion at a wide range of impact velocities, preventing the bullet from breaking apart prematurely even at high .44 Magnum pressures. This specialized design allows the hollow point cavity to initiate expansion reliably while the heavy 300-grain weight maintains the momentum needed for deep, straight-line penetration through tough tissue or bone. The jacket thickness is also varied throughout the length of the bullet to optimize expansion and ensure structural integrity.

Professionals in law enforcement and dedicated handgun hunters benefit most from the extreme reliability and concentricity of these Hornady Mfg components. These .430" diameter bullets are highly compatible with various .44 caliber platforms, including .44 Special and .44 Remington Magnum, making them a top choice for handloaders seeking to build custom, heavy-hitting ammunition. Each 50-count box ensures that you have the precision-made projectiles necessary for either rigorous training sessions or a successful hunt in demanding conditions. Choosing these projectiles ensures that your reloads meet the same rigorous standards as factory-loaded premium duty ammunition.
