Hornady 35740 XTP .357 Caliber 140 Grain Hollow Point Reloading Bullets, 100 Count

Hornady 35740 XTP bullets are designed for hunters, self-defense applications, law enforcement use, and reloaders seeking dependable accuracy and controlled terminal performance. Built around Hornady’s proven XTP design, these .357 caliber bullets feature a 140-grain hollow point profile suitable for compatible .38 caliber and .357 caliber handgun loads. Their consistent construction helps support reliable feeding, stable in-flight performance, and repeatable results when assembled with appropriate components and tested load data.
The XTP bullet uses precise serrations that divide the jacket into symmetrical sections. These strategically placed serrations help initiate controlled expansion across a broad range of practical handgun velocities, including lower-velocity applications. The gilding metal jacket protects the bullet nose while promoting consistent expansion, and the uniform lead core supports balanced performance and in-flight stability. This combination has made the XTP design a popular choice among competitive shooters, hunters, and experienced handloaders.
Each Hornady 35740 bullet has a .357-inch diameter, copper jacket, lead core, and hollow point tip. The bullets are supplied in a 100-count box for reloading projects and range preparation. With a ballistic coefficient of .169 and sectional density of .157, they are engineered to provide predictable external and terminal characteristics when used in a properly developed cartridge. Always consult current, published Hornady load data and follow safe reloading practices, including verifying cartridge specifications, powder charges, seating depth, and firearm compatibility before use.
