tkroenlein Posted May 30, 2017 at 12:27 AM Share Posted May 30, 2017 at 12:27 AM We've talked about Lehigh's bullets here before. I've liked the results I've seen on the you-tubes, and thought it was interesting to see Fortress Defense speak favorably of them. I think it might be time to load up on 'em. http://fortressdefense.com/lehigh-xtreme-defense/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRJ Posted May 30, 2017 at 01:03 AM Share Posted May 30, 2017 at 01:03 AM Fortress used to advocate for Corbon with Barnes copper hp rounds. I'm intrigued by the endorsement. Corbon was a great performer through intermediate barriers that wouldn't over penetrate. The Lehigh stuff looks like it might exit a body, and I really wonder about the design of the round hanging up on a feed ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0untZer0 Posted May 30, 2017 at 01:16 AM Share Posted May 30, 2017 at 01:16 AM They don't have a standard pressure 9mm though, I guess they can't get it to penetrate deeply enough. I don't want to shoot +P ammo in my micro nine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0untZer0 Posted May 30, 2017 at 01:21 AM Share Posted May 30, 2017 at 01:21 AM I think it'd be great for a 9mm LCR though... The 9mm LCR is built to fire 357 magnum loads, they just changed the cylinder a bit to hold 9mm cartridges. I wonder how Winchester Ranger "T" and Federal HST do out of the LCR. On the one hand they have a bit of freebore in the cylinder itself, but then there is the cylinder gap... for some 9mm ammo I feel like unless I have gel tests for that ammo specifically fired out of the LCR - I'm kind of guessing if it will expand or not. But with the Lehigh, I'm fairly confident it is going to penetrate and whirl up a nice wound cavity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three loaded moon clips fit perfectly into the Walgreen's medium prescription bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
