Product Overview

Hornady's Custom 10mm Auto load with the 180-grain XTP hollow point brings serious authority to the table. This round pushes that carefully engineered projectile to an impressive 1275 fps, generating 650 ft-lbs of energy - enough to make most other handgun rounds look anemic in comparison. The XTP bullet isn't just another hollow point; it's built from the ground up for controlled expansion across a wide velocity range, something particularly valuable in the powerful 10mm Auto cartridge.

In the field, this load proves its worth against both two and four-legged threats. The XTP's reputation for deep, straight penetration while maintaining structural integrity makes it particularly effective on medium game like deer and hogs, even through thick shoulder bones. That same penetration advantage means business when dealing with barriers in defensive scenarios - from heavy clothing to auto glass, this round drives through while maintaining its expansion capability.

You'll especially appreciate this ammunition's versatility if you live where the suburbs meet the wilderness. It's equally at home in your bedside pistol or your trail gun, offering peace of mind whether you're dealing with urban threats or surprising encounters with aggressive wildlife. The controlled recoil impulse, despite its impressive velocity, helps maintain practical accuracy when it matters most. For those who understand that terminal performance trumps paper ballistics, this load delivers real-world results without compromise.

Strengths
  • Superior energy transfer capability makes it particularly effective for hunting applications where controlled expansion is crucial
  • XTP bullet design delivers consistent expansion across a broad velocity range, enhancing reliability in varied shooting scenarios
  • Class-leading velocity creates flatter trajectories, simplifying longer-range shot placement
  • Carefully engineered pressure curve maintains reliable cycling despite the enhanced power level
Limitations
  • Enhanced power level requires more practice to manage during rapid engagement drills
  • Premium construction makes it less economical for high-volume training sessions
  • Substantial energy delivery may limit its suitability for newer shooters developing fundamentals
