9mm – 115 Gr XTP-HP – Hornady American Gunner (90244) – 250 Rounds

This 9mm load (90244) delivers controlled expansion and reliable performance for home defense. Hornady builds this round around the 115 grain XTP hollow point. The XTP design uses a drawn jacket with precise serrations. It expands in a controlled way. It also holds together better than many lightweight hollow points. As a result, the bullet balances expansion and penetration instead of over-fragmenting.

Hornady rates this load at 1,155 fps and 341 ft-lbs of energy. That combination supports consistent terminal performance without excessive recoil. The 115 grain weight keeps the pistol easy to control. Therefore, you can maintain faster follow-up shots. This matters in defensive use where control and accuracy must stay tight.

The American Gunner line focuses on practical performance. It avoids unnecessary complexity. Instead, it delivers dependable ignition, smooth feeding, and repeatable results. The XTP bullet feeds reliably in most modern pistols. In addition, it expands more consistently than many budget defensive rounds. So, you get performance you can trust without stepping into premium pricing tiers.

Packaging supports real-world use. Each box holds 25 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds. This format allows proper function testing. You can run enough rounds through your firearm to confirm reliability. Then, you can store the remaining boxes for defensive readiness. Hornady loads this ammunition in brass cases with Boxer primers. That makes the brass reloadable and widely compatible.

For the buyer, the purpose is direct. You get a proven defensive bullet. You get manageable recoil with consistent expansion. And you get a 250-round case that supports both testing and long-term readiness.
