Please note that is bullet is intended only for usage in .380 Auto ammunition and cannot safely be used to load 9mm Luger ammunition.
‘ULTIMATE BULLET PERFORMANCE’ is the driving force behind Lehigh Defense to create new products, redefine terminal performance and to deploy modern manufacturing processes. This mantra has led us to introduce a unique and innovative product, the Xtreme Penetrator Fluid Transfer Monolithic (XP FTM) product line, for both handgun and rifles. The progressive nose geometry allows for deep, straight penetration while creating a permanent wound cavity diameter exceeding that of most expanding bullets. To top it off, the bullet is solid copper and is able to overcome barriers to penetration, is environmentally friendly and VERY target unfriendly. Penetrating barriers such as drywall or heavy clothing prior to impacting the intended target doesn’t have the potentially negative effect on the Xtreme Defense that it does to conventional hollow point bullets.
The magic happens with the nose design where the Fluid Transfer’s radial flutes force the hydraulic energy inward and then as the energy is restricted, it accelerates outward creating high pressure spikes severely damaging surrounding tissue. This very rapid increase in fluid flow creates cavitation and massive tissue damage away from the projectile equivalent to those of the best hollow points on the market. This results in a permanent wound cavity that is two to four times greater than what a flat or round nose bullet generates and often larger than traditional or solid copper expanding bullets. What you get is a hunting or special application self defense bullet that creates a larger permanent wound cavity coupled with exceptionally deep penetration.
The Xtreme Penetrator is the bullet of choice for hunting large, tough and often dangerous game due to the fluid transfer and deep straight line penetration.
Xtreme Penetrator bullets are currently available in the following diameters: .355, .357, .364, .400, .429, .452, .458, .475 and .500.
Solid copper Xtreme Penetrator bullets meet the criteria of states and jurisdictions calling for lead free projectiles.
Earlier this year a friend and I spent a day testing various(a lot) of .380 loads under different conditions and in several types of medium looking for an answer to the often asked question... Is the .380 effective for self defense? As a police office with 30yrs in street work, investigations and firearms training I felt it was a lightweight and not very reliable for stopping bad guys. Dave had noticed how popular the guns were in his ccw classes because of their size and with new developments from the ammo companies and their claims, we thought it was worth the time and expense to do our on tests. Well after the time and $$$, we walked away thinking, despite the claims of the major ammo makers that a FMJ round and precise bullet placement was still the only way you were going to get a stop on a determined foe. None of the JHP rounds had the ability to penetrate deep enough through all mediums, angles or barriers to inflect certain fight stopping damage.As for your product.......... given the limitations of the .380 cartridge with bullet weight,speed and pressure it is my opinion that the Lehigh 380 Xtreme Penetrator is the only round a person should have in their .380 if they are carrying one for protection from 2 or 4 legged predators.
They look uniform and load good. They feed good in my colt. I have not had a chance to shoot them yet.
I haven't loaded any yet awesome product! I cant wait to try them in my 380
