The Hornady Bullets 38 Cal 357 - 158gr XTP-FP ammunition is purpose-built for defensive and training applications where controlled expansion and barrier penetration are non-negotiable. These 158-grain hollow-point projectiles deliver the ballistic performance demanded by law enforcement and civilian shooters who rely on precision ammunition for .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers. Available in 100-round boxes with 25 boxes per case, this bulk offering ensures consistent supply for agencies, shooting ranges, and serious practitioners who train regularly with duty-grade ammunition.
At .357" diameter with a ballistic coefficient of .199 and sectional density of .177, these XTP-FP (Extreme Terminal Performance - Flat Point) bullets combine Hornady's proven serrated hollow-point design with flat-point geometry optimized for reliable feeding in revolver chambers. The precise serrations divide the projectile into symmetrical petals that initiate controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining core integrity for deep penetration through intermediate barriers. This construction ensures consistent performance across velocity ranges typical of both .38 Special standard pressure and full-power .357 Magnum loads, making them equally suitable for snub-nose defensive carry or magnum-loaded service weapons.
Law enforcement agencies and trained civilians gravitate toward this platform for duty ammunition, qualification cycles, and force-on-force training where performance predictability matters. Reloaders and ammunition manufacturers also specify Hornady XTP-FP components as the foundation for custom defensive loads. The 100-round per-box format allows shooters to maintain consistent ammunition batches for load development while the 25-box case quantity supports armory stock rotation and training volume. Compatibility spans all standard .357-diameter revolver platforms, from older service revolvers to modern tactical configurations, making this a universal choice for revolver-dependent operations.
