Lehigh .452 caliber 240gr Controlled Fracturing Muzzleloader Bullets 50/rd
Lehigh Defense .452 caliber 240gr Controlled Fracturing muzzleloader bullets deliver terminal performance built on a engineering principle that separates them from conventional hunting rounds. These solid copper projectiles are pre-stressed at engineered points so that upon reaching a predetermined penetration depth, razor-edged petals deploy and separate outward while the bullet shank maintains bore diameter and continues driving straight and deep. That dual-wound-path design—petals radiating outward for energy transfer while the core penetrates along the original trajectory—creates a fundamentally different terminal effect than traditional expanding bullets.
A 240-grain .452 caliber bullet sits in the practical sweet spot for modern inline muzzleloaders and traditional side-hammer rifles, balancing velocity retention with momentum in calibers from .45-70 Government to dedicated muzzleloading platforms. Lehigh's Controlled Fracturing technology generates multiple wound channels without sacrificing the deep penetration that matters in field conditions—no dramatic mushrooming, no premature energy dump at the periphery, just controlled separation followed by straight-line drive. Each box contains 50 rounds, enough for serious practice or a full season of hunting.
If you hunt with muzzleloaders or historical black-powder rifles and want precision terminal ballistics grounded in a design that actually thinks about how a bullet performs in game, Controlled Fracturing ammunition earns consideration. Lehigh's engineering is different because the bullet's behavior is different—and that shows downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions
What muzzleloaders and rifles are these .452 caliber bullets designed for?
The .452 caliber and 240-grain weight are standard for .45 caliber inline muzzleloaders, traditional black-powder rifles, and similar platforms. Verify bore diameter and load data for your specific rifle before use.
How does Controlled Fracturing technology work?
The bullet is pre-stressed at engineered points. After reaching a predetermined penetration depth, petals deploy and separate outward, creating multiple wound paths, while the main bullet shank maintains bore diameter and continues penetrating straight and deep along the original impact path.
What's included in a box of Lehigh .452 240gr Controlled Fracturing bullets?
Each box contains 50 rounds of .452 caliber, 240-grain Controlled Fracturing muzzleloader bullets.
Are these bullets solid copper or brass?
These Lehigh .452 240gr Controlled Fracturing bullets are manufactured from solid copper.
