HORNADY 35540 XTP 9MM .355 115 GR HOLLOW POINT 100 CNT

Hornady's XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet line is one of the most recognized handgun reloading components on the market, and the 9mm .355 diameter 115 grain hollow point XTP (35540) gives handloaders a proven jacketed hollow point for self-defense, hunting, and personal protection loads in a 100-count box.

Key Features

• Manufacturer Part Number: 35540
• Caliber: 9mm, .355 diameter
• Bullet Weight: 115 grains
• Bullet Style: Jacketed Hollow Point
• Jacket Material: Drawn gilding metal
• Core: Swaged lead core
• G1 Ballistic Coefficient: .129
• Sectional Density: .130
• Quantity: 100 bullets per box
• Application: Personal defense, varmint, hunting

Special Features

• Precise serrations divide the XTP jacket into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket to initiate controlled expansion even at low handgun velocities where many hollow points fail to open reliably.
• The drawn gilding metal jacket varies in wall thickness down the length of the bullet, giving the handloader controlled, staged expansion that uniform plated jackets cannot replicate.
• A fully enclosed nose with no exposed lead keeps the hollow cavity clean and functional on impact while ensuring smooth, reliable feeding in semiautomatic pistols.
• The swaged lead core delivers total uniformity of core density, which supports both consistent in-flight stability and balanced, symmetrical expansion at the target.
• Upon impact, XTP bullets expand to up to 1.5 times original bullet diameter while resisting fragmentation, driving deep, consistent penetration across a wide range of impact velocities.

Practical Benefits

• Handloaders building 9mm personal defense loads get a component with a documented terminal performance reputation trusted by hunters, competitive shooters, and law enforcement trainers.
• The wide effective velocity window means your handloads perform whether you are running a full-size duty pistol, a compact carry gun, or a longer-barreled competition pistol.
• Competitive shooters who need consistent bullet geometry for accurate load development will find the XTP delivers the kind of shot-to-shot uniformity that shows up on paper.
• Small game and varmint hunters loading 9mm for field use get a bullet that expands reliably even at the lower velocities common in handgun hunting distances.
• The 100-count pack gives you enough components to work through load development and still fill your carry magazines with rounds built to a standard you can trust.
• Whether you are developing a precision defensive load or a versatile field hunting cartridge, your 9mm handloads built on the Hornady XTP 35540 perform with terminal consistency that mass-produced factory ammunition rarely matches at the individual round level.

The Hornady XTP 9mm .355 115 Grain hollow point (35540) is a dependable option for the serious handloader building accurate, high-performance 9mm loads for personal defense and hunting applications.
