Lehigh Defense
The Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense 45 Cal 325gr lead-free handgun bullets deliver serious terminal performance for reloaders who demand barrier-blind stopping power without the environmental footprint of traditional ammunition. Built from solid copper, these bullets are engineered to produce a permanent wound cavity that far exceeds conventional expanding hollowpoints while maintaining a controlled penetration depth around 18 inches—designed to match practical self-defense and hunting requirements rather than overpenetrate.
What sets the Xtreme Defense line apart is its optimized nose flute geometry, which generates that enormous wound channel while remaining largely unaffected by common barriers like wallboard, sheet metal, and automotive glass. You get rifle-class terminal performance from a handgun platform, which is a significant engineering achievement. Because the design prioritizes efficiency over raw penetration, you also see reduced recoil compared to comparable rounds, making follow-up shots faster and more controllable—critical in any scenario where precision matters.
These are solid copper bullets, making them lead-free and compliant with hunting regulations in sensitive areas. The 325-grain weight works across a broad velocity range (1200–4200 fps), giving handloaders flexibility in load development for different platforms and purposes. Whether you're working up rounds for a 45-70 or another cartridge that seats .458" diameter projectiles, this box of 50 gives you a proven platform for testing and load optimization.
Lehigh Defense built the Xtreme Defense line to solve a real problem: barrier blindness and wound performance without excess penetration. If you're reloading for serious duty or hunting and want ballistics that work in the real world, these are worth testing.
| Caliber | .45 Cal |
| Bullet Diameter | .458" |
| Weight | 325 grains |
| Material | Solid Copper (Lead-Free) |
| Velocity Range | 1200–4200 fps |
| Quantity | 50 per box |
These .458" diameter, 325-grain bullets are designed for cartridges that accept that bore diameter. The velocity range of 1200–4200 fps indicates compatibility across a broad platform spectrum; common examples include 45-70 Government and other large-bore rifles. Consult load data for your specific cartridge before handloading.
Yes. Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense bullets are solid copper and lead-free, making them compliant with lead-ammunition restrictions in sensitive hunting regions. Always verify local and state regulations for your specific area and game.
The Xtreme Defense design produces a permanent wound cavity significantly larger than conventional expanding hollowpoints while remaining barrier-blind through common obstacles. They're engineered for controlled penetration around 18 inches, balancing stopping performance with reduced over-penetration risk. Recoil is also lower than comparable rounds.
Each box contains 50 individual Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense bullets.
