From the tests I've seen performed on Hornady's XTP loads, the bullets seem to perform a little inconsistently in terms of expansion and reliablity of expansion after penetrating barriers. My opinion has always been that the XTP is an excellent hunting bullet but just a so-so self defense bullet. It was designed for hunting first and foremost. Is the Hornady the only you can find locally? There are plenty of suppliers online with very good prices on ammo such as Speer Gold Dot and Federal HST. What caliber are you looking for?
