Hornady’s American Gunner series blends trusted XTP® bullet technology with carefully matched powders and primers to give shooters a full‑power, versatile load for defense, training, and small‑game hunting. The 125‑grain XTP leaves the muzzle at a brisk 1,500 fps (8‑inch test barrel), producing more than 620 ft‑lbs of energy while delivering reliable 1.5‑times‑caliber expansion and deep, straight‑line penetration. Premium, reloadable brass cases and clean‑burning propellant ensure smooth feeding and consistent accuracy in revolvers and lever‑action carbines alike.
