Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense Bullets in .357 Magnum, 120 grains, Fluid Transfer Monolithic design (Lehigh Defense part no. 09357120SP) are changing how self-defense bullets are built. Like Lehigh’s Xtreme Penetrator line, a progressive nose geometry drives deep, straight-line penetration while creating a permanent wound cavity wider than most expanding bullets achieve. Because the bullet is solid, lead-free copper, it overcomes barriers to penetration that can defeat a conventional hollow point, and passing through drywall or heavy clothing before reaching the intended target does not have the negative effect on this design that it has on a traditional expanding hollow point.
Key Specifications
- Chambered for .357 Magnum. matching the bullet diameter to this specific defensive-revolver cartridge.
- 120 grain weight. gives handloaders the figure needed to build a defensive load.
- Fluid Transfer Monolithic (FTM) design. uses progressive nose geometry to drive deep, straight-line penetration.
- Solid, lead-free copper construction. overcomes barriers to penetration that can defeat a conventional hollow point.
- Wound cavity wider than most expanding bullets. is produced without relying on expansion to do the work.
- Retains performance after passing through drywall or heavy clothing. unlike a conventional hollow point, which can be compromised by these barriers.
- Built on the same progressive nose geometry as Lehigh’s Xtreme Penetrator line. a proven design lineage behind this bullet’s penetration behavior.
- Environmentally friendly, lead-free construction. avoids the lead exposure of a traditional jacketed or plated bullet.
- Packaged 50 per box. enough for handloaders to develop and confirm a defensive load.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this bullet rely on expansion for terminal performance? No. The solid copper Fluid Transfer Monolithic design uses progressive nose geometry to create a wide wound cavity through penetration rather than expansion.
How does this bullet perform after passing through a barrier like drywall or clothing? Lehigh Defense states that passing through barriers such as drywall or heavy clothing does not have the negative effect on the Xtreme Defense that it has on a conventional hollow point.
Lehigh Defense engineers its bullets around penetration physics rather than traditional expansion. Browse more of our reloading bullets for other defensive bullet options.
