Designed for hunting self-defense and law enforcement applications the XTP bullet demonstrates the kind of accuracy which led many competitive shooters to adopt it. Its reliable performance makes the XTP a most popular handgun bullet for both target shooters and hunters. It's the stopping power of the XTP bullet that has truly built its world-class reputation. From the onset XTP bullets were specifically designed to expand reliably at a wide range of handgun velocities to deliver deep penetration with every shot. - Precise serrations divide the XTP into symmetrical sections strategically weakening the jacket and initiating controlled expansion even at low velocities. - Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion as well as in-flight stability. - Expansion is controlled by varying jacket thickness down the length of the XTP providing a definite advantage over plated bullets which have a uniform jacket thickness over the entire bullet. - On revolver bullets the cannelure helps achieve accurate consistent crimping. All cannelures are applied before the final forming process to eliminate any distortion to the finished bullet.
