The Hornady HAP Bullets (Hornady part no. 355281) give competitive pistol shooters a 115-grain, 9mm hollow point projectile refined from Hornady’s legendary XTP design. HAP stands for Hornady Action Pistol, and Hornady built this line specifically for competition rather than hunting or defense, stripping away the folds and cannelure that XTP bullets use for controlled expansion since those features are not needed on a competition load. What remains is a sleek, balanced projectile with a protected nose that feeds consistently and reliably in autoloading pistols round after round through a match. Built by Hornady and sold 500 to a box, this 9mm loading is purpose-built for high-volume competition shooting.
