HORNADY 35500 XTP 9MM .355 90 GRAIN HOLLOW POINT 100 CNT

Hornady XTP hollow point component bullets in 9mm .355 diameter at 90 grains (35500) are a lightweight, high-velocity handgun projectile built for reloaders who want controlled expansion and reliable terminal performance from a 9mm platform. These 9mm self-defense varmint reloading bullets come 100 per box and deliver consistent expansion across the full velocity range of handloaded 9mm cartridges.

Key Features

• Manufacturer part number: 35500
• Caliber: 9mm, .355 diameter
• Bullet weight: 90 grains
• Bullet type: XTP jacketed hollow point, flat base with cannelure
• G1 ballistic coefficient: 0.099
• Sectional density: 0.102
• Overall length: 0.450 inches
• Jacket material: Drawn gilding metal
• Core material: Cold-swaged lead
• Count per box: 100
• Application: Personal defense, varmint

Special Features

• Precise serrations divide the XTP jacket into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening it to initiate controlled expansion even at low velocities while preventing fragmentation at high velocities.
• Jacket thickness varies down the length of the bullet, giving the XTP a controlled expansion advantage over plated bullets that carry uniform jacket thickness throughout.
• The cold-swaged lead core produces total density uniformity, ensuring balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability shot to shot.
• The gilding metal jacket fully covers the nose and hollow cavity, protecting proper function on impact and ensuring reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols.
• The cannelure is applied before final bullet forming, allowing accurate and consistent crimp engagement without distorting the finished bullet profile.

Practical Benefits

• These bullets are compatible with all standard 9mm Luger brass and work across a wide range of 9mm semi-automatic pistol platforms, giving you a versatile component for multiple handguns.
• The 90-grain weight sits at the lighter end of the 9mm spectrum, generating higher muzzle velocity that produces a flatter trajectory and rapid energy transfer, making these a capable choice for defensive loads and varmint applications.
• The XTP design expands reliably to approximately 1.5 times its original diameter across a wide range of 9mm velocities, delivering consistent terminal results whether you build a light practice load or a full-pressure defensive charge.
• If you reload for a 9mm pistol and want a lightweight component that delivers dependable accuracy and proven terminal performance, the Hornady XTP (35500) gives your handloads the consistency and stopping power your defensive setup deserves.

The Hornady XTP 9mm .355 90 Grain (35500) is a proven platform and reliable pick for the serious 9mm reloader seeking a capable tool for personal defense and varmint applications.
