Special Features
Drawn gilding metal jacket varies in wall thickness down the length of the bullet, giving it a clear expansion advantage over plated bullets that carry a uniform jacket thickness throughout.
Precise serrations divide the XTP into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate controlled expansion even at lower revolver velocities.
Swaged lead core produces total uniformity in core density, supporting balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability from shot to shot.
Enclosed nose design keeps the hollow cavity protected so it functions correctly on impact and feeds reliably in semi-automatic pistols chambered in 357 Magnum.
Cannelure is applied before final forming, giving handloaders a clean, distortion-free crimp seat that locks case mouths consistently for accurate, uniform loads.
Bullet expansion reaches up to 1.5 times the original diameter on impact while resisting fragmentation for deep, controlled penetration.
Practical Benefits
The 110 grain weight in .357 diameter works across both 38 Special and 357 Magnum brass, giving you flexibility to load for light target work or full-power defensive and hunting applications from the same bullet supply.
Handgun hunters pursuing small to medium game will appreciate the reliable expansion across the broad velocity window that revolvers and semi-automatics produce at different barrel lengths.
Competitive shooters and trainers building precision handloads find the XTP’s consistent core geometry translates directly into tighter groups and predictable point of impact.
The cannelured design makes this bullet ideal for revolver loads where a solid crimp is required to prevent bullet creep under recoil during extended range sessions.
Your reloaded rounds built on the Hornady XTP (35700) deliver terminal performance on par with factory defensive ammunition, giving you a high-confidence component whether you are loading for the range or the field.
The Hornady XTP (35700), a 38 caliber .357 diameter 110 grain jacketed hollow point, is a proven platform and smart addition to any reloader’s bench who demands accurate, consistent, and expansion-reliable bullets for 38 Special and 357 Magnum applications.
