The 115 gr XTP from Hornady in 9mm (.355) (part no. 35540) is designed around controlled expansion: precise jacket serrations split the nose into symmetrical sections that peel back predictably, even at velocities where many hollow points fail to expand. Hunters, self-defense shooters, and law enforcement all rely on the design, and its accuracy has made it a favorite among competitive shooters as well. Uniform core density keeps the bullet stable in flight and balanced through expansion.
