.45 CAL., 200 GR. HORNADY HP/XTP #45140
I reload these bullets for several friends, who always thought "heavier is better", velocity gets squared, mass (weight) is linear. Pistol bullets aren't shot at yardages where the heavier bullet is ballistically better.
Good plinking bullets
Great plinking bullets for a 38 SPC. My wife shoots 50 to 100 when we go to the range. My daughter will start shooting these in the future.
Quality Component
Always had great luck with Hornady components.
Consistency
As a shooter, reloader, and someone that carries for self defense consistency is the most important thing in a Bullet. With these Hornady XTP bullets you get all the performance of a high quality bullet and the consistency of weight between each bullet as well as the consistency of performance.

Accurate
I loaded these with 5grs. of W231 in 38 spcl. for my sister to practice with. They were very accurate.
Great bullet
This is a great bullet. I push them at 1400+ out of my 6" Model 28 (Max load of H110) and they are accurate and hold together well on testing. In 10% gel they penetrated 16.2" and opened up well, don't remember the measurement.
Awesome Bullet
Very accurate bullet from my savage ML 10 muzzleloader.3rds usually touching at 100 yds.I was able to take a nice 8 point buck at 204 yds this muzzleloading season.I was amazed at how big the exit hole was for this range.The only bullet I will ever shoot through my muzzleloader again.
Tough bullet.Doesn't fragment.
Shoot this bullet for a TC Contender with a 10" barrel in 357 maximum. Shoots accurately 3 inch groups 100 yds. Doesn't fragment on deer sized game. The bulk Winchester and Remington 158 gr hp both fragment on deer. The deer is dead anyhow but the Hornady passes through or stays in one piece neatly mushroomed. The Hornady bullet crimps better with a hard crimp. Seems like the bullet jacket is thicker to be able to hold the crimp better. Not saying that there isn't a better bullet but this is the best I have used for the price.
Excellent Bullet
The FIRST thing I did after receiving my shipment was; I placed each individual bullet on a scale and noted the difference in actual bullet weight. I was amazed to find that the difference was
