Special Features

• The cold-swaged lead core produces total density uniformity, ensuring balanced expansion and consistent in-flight stability shot to shot.
• The cannelure is applied before final bullet forming, allowing accurate and consistent crimp engagement without distorting the finished bullet profile.
• The gilding metal jacket fully covers the nose and hollow cavity, protecting proper function on impact and ensuring reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols.

Practical Benefits

• These bullets are compatible with .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .357 Maximum brass, giving you one proven component that covers a wide range of revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in .357.
• The 158-grain weight is a classic defensive and hunting bullet weight in .357 caliber, delivering deep penetration and controlled expansion that performs across both moderate .38 Special loads and full-power .357 Magnum charges.
• The cannelure makes these a natural fit for revolver reloading where a firm crimp over the groove prevents bullet creep under the mechanical stress of cylinder rotation.
• If you reload for a .38 or .357 platform and need a component that performs from the range to the field, the Hornady XTP (35750) gives your handloads the terminal reliability your defensive and hunting loads deserve.
