Hornady Custom 10mm Auto 155gr XTP JHP Ammo

Description

Hornady Custom 10mm ammunition brings hand-loaded quality to a factory load without the time investment. You get the accuracy and consistency most people only chase through reloading, but in a box of 20 ready to fire. Each round ships with meticulous attention to detail – every cartridge is hand-inspected before packaging to catch any inconsistencies.

XTP Bullet Design Built for Performance

The 155-grain XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) projectile is the real workhorse here. Hornady designed this bullet with precise serrations that divide it into symmetrical sections, which weakens the jacket just right so expansion happens reliably even if velocity is lower than expected. The result is controlled expansion paired with solid penetration – it expands to about 1.5 times its original diameter on impact. The gilding metal jacket protects the nose and ensures the hollow cavity works properly when it hits, plus the design feeds reliably in semi-automatic pistols.

Component Quality That Shows

Hornady manufactures most of the brass for their Custom line in-house, and every case is selected for reliable feeding, corrosion resistance, and the ability to handle maximum chamber pressures. Brass is also reloadable, which is helpful if you're the type who gets into reloading later. The primers are matched to each specific load and chosen for quick, complete, and reliable ignition. Powder charges are loaded with careful attention to pressure, velocity, and lot-to-lot consistency so you get the same performance from box one through box five.

Speed and Energy You Can Count On

You're looking at a muzzle velocity around 1410 feet per second with 684 foot-pounds of energy out of a typical 5-inch barrel, though actual numbers will vary slightly by gun. This is the kind of ballistic performance that gives 10mm its reputation as a genuine powerhouse for self-defense and hunting work.
