Bullet went through every bottle; was held by the sixth bottle. First three bottles were quite damaged. Last three bottles were holed through. Bullet stayed in last bottle in spite of bottle being holed through.

A lil slow for expansion but awesome for penetration.

Interesting how they made the bullet with copper jacket wrapped around the nose - obviously, not so good for expansion when it slows.
Probably will do fine at point blank with 80gr - like nearly all.
I really enjoy these 50gr test.
Thanks

HAP is a Hornady Action Pistol bullet. Was never designed with expansion as a needed feature.

While XTP® bullets use serrations to aid in controlled expansion and terminal performance, we have eliminated these from HAP® bullets, creating a sleek and balanced projectile with a protected nose that aids in consistent and reliable feeding in auto loading pistols. Bullet jackets, featuring industry leading concentricity combined with precision swaged cores, deliver the very best in accuracy and performance.

Looks like it wanted to expand. The hollow point looks alittle bigger.
