Lehigh Defense
Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense 38 Cal 120 Grain solid copper bullets deliver purpose-built performance for handloaders who demand reliable barrier-blind self-defense ammunition. Built from solid copper with no lead, these monolithic projectiles use Lehigh's Fluid Transfer Monolithic (FTM) technology—a progressive nose geometry that performs consistently whether your rounds encounter drywall, heavy clothing, or bare tissue. Unlike conventional hollow points that can deform or deflect when passing through intermediate barriers, the Xtreme Defense maintains its trajectory and integrity, ensuring your shot placement stays true when it counts.
The engineering behind these bullets centers on hydraulic energy management. The radial flutes in the nose design channel fluid energy inward, then redirect it outward under extreme pressure. This rapid acceleration creates tissue cavitation and damage extending well beyond the wound track itself—a permanent wound cavity that typically runs two to four times larger than flat or round nose bullets generate. You're getting the stopping authority associated with quality hollow points combined with the barrier-defeat reliability of a solid copper design.
Handloaders working with .38 caliber loads will appreciate the environmental benefits of a lead-free round and the consistent performance across varied scenarios. The 120-grain weight suits typical .38 Special and .38 ACP applications. Each box contains 50 bullets, giving you the component count for serious practice or duty-grade loads. Whether you're loading for personal defense or sport shooting where lead-free ammunition is preferred, Lehigh's Xtreme Defense bridges the gap between penetration consistency and wound effectiveness.
| Caliber | .38 Cal |
| Weight | 120 Grain |
| Material | Solid Copper |
| Type | Monolithic (Xtreme Defense FTM) |
| Quantity per Box | 50 Bullets |
| Lead-Free | Yes |
Yes. The solid copper construction and progressive nose geometry allow Xtreme Defense bullets to penetrate barriers like drywall and heavy clothing without deformation or trajectory deviation, maintaining the performance characteristics you load for.
The radial flutes in the nose force hydraulic energy inward, then accelerate it outward under high pressure. This rapid fluid acceleration creates cavitation and tissue damage extending beyond the immediate wound track—typically two to four times the cavity of standard bullets.
Yes. Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense bullets are solid copper with no lead, making them compliant with lead-free ammunition requirements at most indoor and outdoor ranges.
These 120-grain .38 bullets are designed for standard .38 handgun cartridges, including .38 Special and .38 ACP. Always consult reloading manuals for specific load data and powder charges appropriate to your chosen cartridge.
