The Hornady Custom 9mm Luger 147 gr XTP (Hornady part no. 90282) is a 25-round box of 9mm Luger ammunition loaded with a 147-grain XTP (Extreme Terminal Performance) bullet. Hornady publishes 975 fps and 310 ft-lb at the muzzle for this load from a 4-inch test barrel, and 899 fps by 100 yards. It belongs to the Hornady Custom handgun line, which the company describes as loaded for shooters who want supreme accuracy and maximum knock down power. Hornady says every round is hand inspected before packaging, and that it builds Custom ammunition to give shooters the advantage of hand-loaded accuracy in a factory load. For a firearm chambered in 9mm Luger, that gives you a documented set of ballistics for this exact bullet weight before you ever reach the range.
