Hornady
The Hornady XTP .357 140-grain hollow point is purpose-built for reloaders who demand reliable expansion and deep penetration across the full velocity spectrum. Whether you're hand-loading for hunting, self-defense, or precision target work with your .38 Special or .357 Magnum revolver, this bullet has earned its reputation through consistent, real-world performance. With 100 per box, you've got enough to load a serious quantity of ammo while keeping your cost per round down.
What sets the XTP apart is its engineering. The jacket isn't uniform thickness—Hornady varies it strategically down the length of the bullet to control expansion predictably, even when velocity drops. That matters whether you're shooting standard .38 Special loads or full-power .357 Magnum rounds. The hollow cavity is protected by the gilding metal jacket, so it expands reliably on impact without exposing lead at the nose, and feeds cleanly in semi-auto pistols if you ever cross over.
The bullet features precise serrations that divide it into symmetrical sections, initiating controlled expansion from low to high velocities. A swaged core ensures uniformity and balanced expansion. On the revolver side, the cannelure—applied before final forming to avoid distortion—locks in your crimp accurately and consistently, shot after shot. That precision is what competitive shooters and hunters have relied on for decades.
Load data for .357 and .38 Special will vary by powder, primer, and case; consult Hornady's published reloading manuals or their online resource for safe starting and maximum loads for your specific combination. This is a component, not finished ammunition.
| Caliber | .357 / .38 Special |
| Weight | 140 grains |
| Type | Hollow Point |
| Jacket Material | Drawn Gilding Metal |
| Quantity | 100 per box |
| Part Number | 35740 |
Yes. The .357 140-grain XTP is dimensioned for both cartridges and functions reliably across the velocity range of standard .38 loads through full-power .357 Magnum loads. Performance will vary with velocity; consult Hornady load data for your specific combination.
The no-exposed-lead, gilding metal jacket design supports semi-auto feeding. However, .357 semi-autos are less common than revolvers. Verify your pistol's specifications and test-load carefully before committing to a large batch.
These are components. You must consult Hornady's official reloading manuals (in print or online) for your specific powder, primer, and case combination. Never guess or use data from third parties. Starting load first, working up carefully.
Yes. The cannelure is applied before the final forming process to maintain bullet integrity and ensure consistent crimping in revolver loads.
