HRNDY 44MAG 240GR XTP 20/200

Description

Hornady Custom .44 Magnum ammunition loaded with the 240-grain XTP bullet is built for hunters and handgun shooters who want a round that performs reliably at field distances. The XTP — eXtreme Terminal Performance — is a jacketed hollow point designed around controlled expansion rather than violent fragmentation. Six precisely formed skiving cuts divide the bullet’s nose into symmetrical sections that peel back progressively as the bullet decelerates through tissue, maintaining a large, consistent frontal diameter while keeping enough shank intact to drive deep. That combination of expansion and penetration is why the bullet sees use across hunting, self-defense, and handgun silhouette applications without being optimized for only one of them.

Hornady loads this cartridge under the Custom line, which means the brass, powder, and primer are matched to each other rather than assembled from whatever components are available. Powder charges are selected to reach consistent velocity from lot to lot, and each primer is chosen to ensure complete ignition of the specific powder used. The brass is either Hornady’s own production or third-party cases held to the same dimensional and hardness standards. The result is ammunition that gives reloaders a reliable baseline and hunters a factory load they can depend on without working up a custom recipe. At 240 grains, this projectile weight is well suited to revolvers and lever-action carbines chambered in .44 Magnum, offering a balance of sectional density and manageable recoil for repeated shots in the field.
