Lehigh Defense Xtreme Penetrator - Did you see this newish ammo yet?

[righteousbarbarian]

It's not to be confused with the Lehigh Defense Maximum Expansion. It's a solid copper bullet with a unique design and I believe that it represents a significant advancement in bullet technology. Check it out.



incredible.

Two points, non-expanding, not interested - At those velocities it will not leave more than a .357 hole. Second, Barnes was making banded solids for a while, and I believe some of them ran afoul of ATF's definition of AP ammo.
So its an interesting idea, I think I would prefer a hot loaded jacketed wadcutter. Something that crushes tissue but isn't wholly reliant on expansion for woundeing potential.

Here is a 380 test. Interesting stuff for sure. I'm still waiting for more testing. Nice to see people trying new ideas. Expanding bullets definitely have some drawbacks.

I want something that penetrates about 4" then detonates so that the insides of the target is purred.

They look like anti-vampire rounds.

Check out his follow up video on using the .45 250gr version in a muzzle loader. I've never seen a wound track in gel that comes close...

Skip to 1:40 to get on with it.

I tried a box of these. Neat X shaped holes in the paper. No feed issues in my PPK/S or LCP.

Tim from MAC made an excellent video with the new Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defender (slightly different design than the Xtreme Penetrator) loaded by Underwood in 9mm +P. It performs exceptionally well. It's a longish video but totally worth it IMO. I'm thinking that this may be my new 9mm carry ammo.

Important to get this right. This new bullet isn't an updated Xtreme Penetrator. It's a different line called the Xtreme Defender. They have different purposes. One is optimized for deep penetration for something like animal defense. The new XD that MAC tested is for people defense. They're also releasing it in 10mm this month (can't wait!).

Also I picked up a box of the new 9mm +P XD round and tested in in Clear Ballistics gel. I got the same 17" he did. Definitely consistent stuff.

Thanks for the correction. I will edit my post to avoid confusion.

Never tried them. Don't imagine they do much more to cardboard than a SWC does.
Here's another newer entrant that is also lead-free...

As for exploding ammo...

Lol no. At over $1.50/round, they aren't intended to be shot at cardboard at all. They aren't lead free to qualify to be shot at dumb lead free ranges. They're made of copper because it's harder and won't deform like lead.

Thank you for posting that. I will have to try a box as I carry a .380 but with the over penetrating Winchester rounds. If I have no feed problems with my PPK/S then I think I will load these for carry instead.



Just a thought that popped in my head...Increased chance of more powerful ricochet with this?

They also have an updated bullet. It is supposed to limit over penetration. This is a test of the stuff loaded by underwood. 9mm not 380. Still something I'm keeping an eye on. These are called the extreme defender vs extreme penetrator.
