Hornady American Gunner 9mm Luger +P Ammo 124 Grain Hornady XTP Jacketed Hollow Point 500 rounds

Description

Hornady American Gunner 9mm Luger +P Ammo 124 Grain Hornady XTP Jacketed Hollow Point 500 rounds is a high-performance defensive load designed for shooters who demand reliable terminal performance under stress. This bulk pack delivers Hornady’s proven XTP projectile at a duty-ready +P velocity, offering a significant cost-per-round advantage for serious training and stockpiling.

Key Features

• Proven XTP Jacketed Hollow Point: The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet is engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration through barriers, a critical factor for defensive use. Its jacketing and cavity design prevent over-expansion and ensure consistent performance.
• +P Pressure Specification: This ammunition is loaded to higher pressure, generating approximately 1,150 feet per second from a 4-inch barrel. This provides a flatter trajectory and increased energy downrange compared to standard pressure 9mm.
• Bulk 500-Round Packaging: Purchasing in this quantity substantially lowers the cost per round, making it financially viable to train with your chosen defensive load and build a reserve.
• Reliable Boxer Primers and Brass Cases: Features reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive primers for consistent ignition. This reliability is mission-critical for any defensive ammunition.

Pros & Cons

2. XTP bullet offers predictable, barrier-blind expansion and reliable penetration.

2. The XTP, while extremely reliable, may not expand as dramatically as some modern designs like Federal HST in bare gel.

Who Should Buy This
