Lehigh Xtreme Defense

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.

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.

I don't have get tests, but I feed the Winchester Ranger 147gr to my LCR9. Three loaded moon clips fit perfectly into the Walgreen's medium prescription bottle.
