Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Hornady XTP bullet better for self-defense than a standard hollow point?
The XTP (Extreme Terminal Performance) bullet features a precisely engineered jacket that controls expansion at a wide range of velocities — not just at peak speed. This means reliable, consistent mushrooming whether the round travels through heavy clothing, barriers, or at reduced velocity from a shorter barrel. The result is a larger wound channel and better energy transfer without the risk of over-penetration or fragmentation common in lesser hollow point designs.
Is this ammunition suitable for use in .357 Magnum lever-action rifles as well as revolvers?
Yes. Hornady Custom .357 Magnum 158 Grain XTP is compatible with any firearm chambered in .357 Magnum, including revolvers and lever-action rifles. When fired from a rifle-length barrel, you can expect significantly higher velocity than the listed 1,250 fps (measured from a handgun), which translates to even greater energy on target — making it an excellent choice for hunting with a lever gun.
Can I reload the brass casings after firing this ammunition?
Absolutely. Hornady Custom ammunition is loaded in high-quality brass cases with Boxer primers, making the spent casings fully reloadable. The brass is known for its durability and consistent dimensions, which is why many reloaders specifically seek out fired Hornady brass as a premium component for their handloads.
