Description

The Hornady American Gunner 9mm Luger +P Ammo 124 Grain Hornady XTP Jacketed Hollow Point 500-round case is a factory-direct supply of proven duty-grade defensive ammunition. It’s for the shooter who demands consistent terminal performance downrange without the premium price of boutique defensive loads. This package delivers Hornady’s trusted XTP bullet in a high-volume, cost-effective format.

Key Features

• Hornady XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) Bullet: The jacketed hollow point is engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration, providing reliable terminal ballistics that meet FBI protocols. This matters because predictable performance under stress is non-negotiable.
• +P Pressure Specification: Increased velocity, averaging 1180 feet per second, for improved expansion and energy transfer. This matters for ensuring the projectile meets its designed performance window.
• 500-Round Direct Case: Bulk packaging from the manufacturer eliminates middleman markups. This matters for securing a serious training or reserve supply at a better cost per round.
• Nickel-Plated Brass Cases: Offers superior corrosion resistance and smoother feeding. This matters for long-term storage reliability and function in mission-critical applications.
• Consistent Factory Loads: Every round is assembled to the same specifications as Hornady’s Critical Duty line. This matters for shot-to-shot uniformity you can trust.
