Reviews & Ratings for Hornady XTP Pistol Bullets, 10mm, .400, 155 Grain, Hollow Point — 3 reviews — Page 1

I’ve been reloading ammo for decades and I mainly use Hornady bullets in my reloads. I use a few more brands but Hornady bullets are very well made and reasonably priced. They’ve always worked well for me.

My state allows hunting of big game animals with a handgun. There is an

a 500 S&W mag with 10 inch barrel. The 10mm has 6 inch barrel. Is lighter weight and easier

I have always liked Hornady products and their XTP bullets are definitely a quality product. I was pleased and actually surprised that Optics Planet had them available. Although it took a couple of contacts to customer service, including a lengthy “on hold” phone call, I did get my order.
