Hornady XTP bullets in 9mm, .355 diameter, 147 grains hollow point (Hornady part no. 35580), are engineered for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement applications, and the design’s accuracy has led many competitive shooters to adopt it as well. Precise serrations divide the bullet into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket so it initiates controlled expansion even at low, subsonic-range velocities. The gilding metal jacket protects the nose while total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability, making this heavier 147-grain 9mm loading a strong choice for suppressed or subsonic 9mm handloads where reliable expansion at reduced velocity matters most.
