Hornady’s XTP hollow point in .45 Cal (.452), 300 gr (part no. 45230) is built for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement use, and its accuracy is a big reason competitive shooters adopted it too. Hornady cuts precise serrations into the jacket that divide the nose into symmetrical sections, so the bullet expands in a controlled, predictable way even at velocities where cheaper hollow points fail to open. A gilding metal jacket protects the nose on the way in, while uniform core density keeps expansion balanced and flight stable.
