Lehigh Defense 45 Caliber 380 Grain Solid Copper Wide Flat Nose Lead-Free Bullets (50 Count)

Lehigh Defense 45 caliber 380 grain solid copper wide flat nose lead-free bullets deliver the deep, straight-line penetration that serious reloaders and hunters demand. Built from solid copper instead of soft lead, these projectiles offer 10–20 times greater tensile strength, which means they punch through heavy bone and brush with minimal deformation. That structural integrity translates to reliable performance and reduced deflection when it counts most in the field.

The wide flat nose design is proven technology refined by Lehigh Defense for modern handloaders who want ammunition that performs consistently. Solid copper construction makes these rounds compliant with lead-free regulations in sensitive areas while delivering the terminal performance you'd expect from a premium hunting bullet. At 380 grains, these are built for cartridges and rifles designed to handle heavy, slow projectiles—think subsonic and moderate-velocity hunting loads where penetration matters more than velocity.

This 50-count box gives you enough rounds to develop a reliable hunting load or work up test groups without breaking the bank. Whether you're loading for deep-woods hunting where shot placement and penetration dominate, or you simply prefer lead-free ammunition for environmental or regulatory reasons, Lehigh's solid copper WFN bullets are a no-compromise choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifle cartridge are these bullets for?

These .458 caliber, 380 grain bullets are designed for rifles chambered in .458 cartridges, commonly the .45-70 Government. They're best suited for hunting applications where deep penetration is the priority.

Are these bullets lead-free?

Yes. These are solid copper bullets with no lead content, making them compliant with lead-free ammunition regulations in states and regions that restrict or prohibit lead ammunition.

What twist rate do I need?

A minimum twist rate of 1:30 is required to properly stabilize these 380 grain projectiles in flight.

Why solid copper instead of lead?

Solid copper provides 10–20 times greater tensile strength than lead, allowing the bullet to maintain its shape through heavy bone and brush with minimal deformation. This structural integrity reduces deflection and ensures the reliable, straight-line penetration hunters expect from a quality hunting bullet.
