Accurate 5 185 grain xtp crimp
On revolver bullets, the cannelure helps achieve accurate, consistent crimping. Total uniformity of core density ensures balanced expansion as well as in-flight stability.Įxpansion is controlled by varying jacket thickness down the length of the XTP, providing a definite advantage over plated bullets which have a uniform jacket thickness over the entire bullet. A cannelure ensures a solid crimp to hold bullets in place while ammo cycles through.
The gilding metal jacket protects the nose of the bullet, so the hollow cavity functions properly on impact and ensures proper feeding in semi-automatics. 451 Diameter 185 Grain Reloading Bul HSM Bullets. Precise serrations divide the XTP into symmetrical sections, strategically weakening the jacket and initiating controlled expansion even at low velocities. From the onset, XTP bullets were specifically designed to expand reliably at a wide range of handgun velocities to deliver deep penetration with every shot. If you are getting set back try a little more crimp. If you compare a 185 and a 200 grain youll notice that the 200 has the same base but a longer nose. But it's the stopping power of the XTP bullet that has truly built its world-class reputation. There is also a problem with 185s because they are short and have a tendincy to not ride the top of the chamber as the round enters it. Reliable performance makes the XTP the most popular handgun bullet for both target shooters and hunters. Or you can work up a load that reduces recoil, 5.4 grains of Powder U is 850 fps with a 230 grain LRN, 5.1 grains will reliably cycle the gun reducing recoil (Bullseye pistol logic). Designed for hunting, self-defense and law enforcement applications, the XTP bullet demonstrates the kind of accuracy that led many competitive shooters to adopt it. For example, 5.5 grains of powder X gives 1272 rounds per pound and powder Y has a 5 grain weight giving you 1400 rounds (IPSC/IDP logic).
