Additional Features

Controlled Expansion

No Exposed Lead

• The gilding metal jacket protects the nose of the bullet, ensuring proper feeding in semi-automatics and maintaining the hollow cavity for proper function on impact.

Swaged Core

• The total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion and in-flight stability of the bullet.

Drawn Gilding Metal Jacket

• The varying jacket thickness down the length of the XTP® bullet provides controlled expansion, which is a definite advantage over plated bullets with uniform jacket thickness.

Cannelure

• On revolver bullets, the cannelure helps achieve accurate and consistent crimping by being applied before the final forming process to eliminate any distortion to the finished bullet.
