Crafted to the exacting standards of Hornady’s custom-grade ammunition, each round undergoes meticulous hand inspection before packaging to guarantee unparalleled levels of quality control. This dedication to precision ensures that every shooter and hunter can trust in the consistency and accuracy of their ammunition.

Manufactured with cutting-edge technology and stringent quality assurance measures, Hornady Custom ammunition delivers the advantages of hand-loaded precision in a convenient factory load. Whether it’s target shooting at the range or hunting in the field, shooters can rely on Hornady Custom ammunition to perform with exceptional accuracy and reliability.

At the heart of Hornady’s Custom Ammunition lies the XTP bullet, a testament to Hornady’s commitment to innovation and performance. Designed for a variety of applications including hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement, the XTP bullet is renowned for its reliable performance and controlled expansion.

One of the key features of the XTP bullet is its unique design, which includes six serrations dividing the bullet into symmetrical sections. This design serves to weaken the jacket, allowing for controlled expansion at lower velocities while preventing fragmentation at higher velocities. This controlled expansion ensures optimal terminal performance and stopping power, making the XTP bullet an ideal choice for a wide range of shooting scenarios.

Unlike many handgun bullets that are optimized for a specific factory-specified velocity, the XTP bullet is engineered to offer consistent performance across a range of velocities. This versatility allows shooters to achieve reliable expansion and deep penetration at various distances and velocities, providing confidence in the bullet’s effectiveness in real-world situations.

Each XTP bullet is meticulously crafted with a swaged core and drawn copper jacket to ensure uniform expansion and stability in flight. Additionally, the inclusion of a cannelure on the bullet further enhances its performance by securely locking the core and jacket together while allowing for tight crimping of the cartridge case. This feature provides added security at high velocities, ensuring consistent performance shot after shot.

Furthermore, Hornady’s 38 Special 158 Grain XTP Custom Ammunition features non-corrosive, boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases, adding to its overall value and versatility. Whether used for target shooting, hunting, or self-defense, Hornady Custom Ammunition delivers unmatched performance and reliability, earning the trust of shooters and hunters worldwide.
