What type of bullet is XTP?
The Hornady XTP Hollow Point Handgun Bullets feature XTP® Hollow Point tips that are designed to expand up to 1.5x their original diameter at a wide range of velocities to deliver deep penetration. A heavy jacket over the shank of each bullet stands up to high pressures and velocities.
Are XTP bullets any good?
Hornady’s XTP bullet excels at both penetration and expansion–with outstanding accuracy. The 9mm XTP provides consistent half-inch or better expansion, with penetration that meets FBI protocols with ease. Most bullets have a single best use.
What is XTP?
(Xpress Transfer Protocol) A research transport protocol designed by Greg Chesson of SGI. Designed for high-speed networks, it provides services at layers 3 and 4 of the OSI model. XTP is flexible and can accommodate both real-time and non-real-time traffic by setting its own rate and flow control.
What is XTP Mag?
eXtreme Terminal Performance — Magnum But XTP® Mag™ bullets are designed to take things a step further — withstanding the higher velocities and impacts of ultra-powerful, magnum handguns while delivering even deeper penetration than standard XTP® bullets.

What is a SST bullet?
Product Details. Hornady® SST® Bullets (Super Shock Tip) are premium hunting bullets designed to shoot flat and hit hard. The bullet’s polymer tip increases the ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectory, and the tip pushes back into the lead core upon impact to initiate rapid expansion, even at long rage.
What are FTX bullets used for?
These bullets pierce the skin and hide of large animals like bucks, elk, bear and moose, and have high stopping power to put the animal down quickly. FTX bullets work at any range, and can also be used for hunting animals with especially tough hides, like hogs.
Do HAP bullets expand?
The HAP design eliminates the serrations employed by the XTP near the bullet nose. These serrations, or scallops, are intended to weaken the jacket and allow good expansion even at modest velocity.
