Controlled Fracturing bullets are pre-stressed at specific points so that after a predetermined penetration depth, the razor-edge petals deploy, releasing an energy spike. These bullets are designed to deliver maximum terminal performance and are optimal for use in .45 ACP handgun loads. 

Please note that these are bullets (projectiles) only for reloading. This product is not loaded ammunition that is ready to use in a firearm.

Lehigh Defense originated Controlled Fracturing Technology.  These bullets are designed to deliver maximum terminal performance.  Controlled Fracturing bullets are produced from solid copper and are pre-stressed at specific points so that after a predetermined penetration depth, the razor-edge petals deploy, releasing an energy spike and then separate and radiate outward from the primary path of the bullet.  The bullet shank, now back to bore diameter, continues penetrating straight and deep along the initial impact path.

Unlike traditional expanding bullets which mushroom and dramatically limit the bullet's penetration and provide only one wound path, Lehigh Defense's Controlled Fracturing ammunition creates an initial energy transfer, multiple wound paths, and a deep penetrating base with a sharp front cutting edge for extreme terminal performance.

I consider the Controlled Fracturing to be the ULTIMATE self-defense bullet and the 9mm 115 grain Controlled Fracturing is what I carry daily.

- Bill Wilson

Controlled Fracturing bullets are currently available in the following caliber diameters: .308, .355, .357, .375, .400, .451, .452, .458 and .500.

Solid copper Controlled Fracturing bullets meet the criteria of states and jurisdictions calling for lead free projectiles.

    Perfect if you where forced to shot lead free

    Posted by Wolf on Nov 16th 2020

    I am a hunter from Germany and for legal reasons I have to use lead-free bullets. This bullet is ideal for the catch shot on the hunt. I have tested the bullet in ballistic soap. Unfortunately it is not possible to show photos here. Otherwise, you would see how clean and precise this bullet disassembles. I am very satisfied with the Lehigh bullets and have used them in other calibers as well.

    170 gr Controlled Fracturing 45 ACP and 85 gr .308 Carbine Bullets

    Posted by John S. on Aug 21st 2016

    Received both products very quickly...Packaging was excellent and bullets showed no imperfections. I have not had a chance to complete range testing with the .308 carbine bullets, but they functioned flawlessly in my 1943 Inland. Groups running around 1.5" @ 50 yds.. I have not loaded any bullets in the 45 ACP yet, but I had the opportunity to try some a few years ago and they are impressive to say the least... It has always been a pleasure for me to do business with Dave and his gang...been about 10 years now and their innovation and quality are always superb! Mike Simpson Newburg, PA

    to be honest the product that I bought is way above my expectations. The customer service is way beyond what I was expecting. All of my hunting and self defense bullets will be bought from here...
