20rds – 10mm Hornady Custom 180gr. XTP Ammo

Hornady Ammunition 180 Grain XTP Ammo Details

No one carries a 10mm pistol because they plan to be short-handed when trouble finds them. If that’s your case, then you’re bound to appreciate this cartridge by Hornady if you’re ever forced to use it. It features a 180 grain XTP, a projectile that’s designed inside and out to provide “eXtreme Terminal Performance.”

This round’s XTP sports precisely placed serrations around its tip, ensuring that its expansion takes place symmetrically and reliably as can be, even during lower velocity penetration. Expansion is further controlled by the varying thicknesses engineered throughout the length of the XTP’s drawn gilding metal jacket. Its jacket protects even this bullet’s nose to promote trouble-free feeding in a semi-automatic, and its swaged lead core is both tough and evenly distributed.

Hornady’s Custom ammunition is reliable because it’s made with their best components. These rounds sport new and reloadable brass casings, propellant charges which produce a consistent chamber pressure, and primers that won’t leave you in the lurch when danger’s brewing. Get your powerful pistol the load it needs to live up to its full potential!
