Description

Hornady does have an entry on this list, but it’s not the Hornady Critical Defense. Instead, the XTP bullet made the cut because of its superior accuracy and more reliable penetration and expansion. Built with serrations in the bullet, the XTP has a strategically weakened jacket that aids in expansion. At the same time, the XTP also has a jacket of varying thickness along the length of the bullet, which controls expansion past a certain point and aids in penetration.
