Hello there friends,
Just a basic question about the 180gr XTP 44 mag bullet for reloading. Are these projectiles exclusively hollow point, or is there a non-hollow point version?

The EXtreme Terminal Performance is only in a hollow point as far as I’m aware. I know some guys that (in certain cartridges) run the HAP bullet for target applications and have had them behave pretty much identically to the XTP on paper.
According to Hornady's website, only the .357 125gr and 158gr XTP bullets appear to be available in both hollow and non- hollow (flat) point. All others appear to be HP only.

If there’s something on the manufacturer site that you don’t understand, ask them to explain.
For reviews and real world experience, you’re in the right place.

The 158 XTP-FP’s are still a hollow point bullet. The cavity is much, much smaller, but it’s still a cavity, and it’s still a relatively rapid-expanding bullet. Not really the same as what a guy would expect from a flat-nosed lead soft point bullet.
