Liberty Civil Defense 10mm Auto 60-grain Lead Free Fragmenting Hollow Point ammunition (part no. LACD10032) takes a dramatically different approach to defensive 10mm ammunition than the caliber’s typical 155 to 200-grain loads. Liberty Ammunition machines this 60-grain bullet entirely from lead-free copper, and its extremely light weight lets it reach velocities far beyond standard 10mm loads. On impact, the bullet is engineered to fragment into multiple individual wound channels rather than expanding as a single mushroom, while its light weight and shallow penetration depth are designed to reduce the risk of overpenetration. Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion in a carry gun. In handgun ammunition built around a fundamentally different terminal concept, this is Liberty’s signature defensive design.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 10mm Auto, a high-capacity semi-auto cartridge with significantly more power than 9mm or .40 S&W.
• The bullet weighs just 60 grains, dramatically lighter than standard 10mm loads for extreme velocity.
• The bullet is lead free, machined entirely from copper.
• On impact the bullet is engineered to fragment into multiple wound channels rather than expanding as a single mushroom.
• The lighter weight and fragmenting design are built to reduce overpenetration risk compared to a traditional heavy expanding bullet.
• The cases are nickel-plated brass, resisting corrosion in a carry gun or magazine.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, shipped 50 boxes to the case.
• A full box ships at approximately 0.7 lb, reflecting the light 60-grain bullet.
• Cost runs about $1.90 per round for a purpose-engineered fragmenting defensive load.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a fragmenting bullet different from a standard expanding hollow point? Instead of mushrooming as a single piece, this bullet is engineered to break into multiple fragments on impact, creating several individual wound channels rather than one expanded path.

Why is the bullet so much lighter than typical 10mm loads? The extremely light 60-grain weight allows the bullet to reach much higher velocity, which Liberty’s design relies on to drive its fragmentation performance.
