Lehigh Defense 300 AAC Blackout 198 Grain Solid Copper Controlled Fracturing Bullets - Lead-Free, .308 Diameter (Box of 50)

Lehigh Defense 300 AAC Blackout 198 grain solid copper controlled fracturing bullets deliver a fundamentally different approach to terminal ballistics than conventional expanding rounds. Built from solid copper and engineered with pre-stressed fracturing points, these lead-free rifle bullets are designed to separate into multiple wound channels after a predetermined penetration depth, while the shank continues tracking straight through for deep, consistent penetration. If you're handloading subsonic or supersonic .300 Blackout for hunting or precision shooting, these .308-diameter projectiles offer the terminal performance and predictability that serious reloaders demand.

The controlled fracturing design solves a real problem with traditional mushrooming bullets: they expand aggressively, dump energy quickly, but leave a single wound path and often fail to penetrate deep enough on larger game or at longer ranges. Lehigh's approach uses that initial energy release strategically—the razor-edge petals deploy outward to create multiple trauma channels, while the bore-diameter base continues forward, combining immediate impact effect with the penetration needed for ethical, effective kills. Because these are solid copper with no lead, they're also compliant for use in lead-free hunting zones and work cleanly in any modern rifle platform chambered in .300 Blackout.

At 198 grains, this bullet weight is well-suited to the .300 Blackout's effective range and velocity envelope. Reloaders appreciate Lehigh's consistency—solid copper construction means uniform density, predictable ballistics, and no lead-core separation issues. The .308 diameter (.308") fits standard .300 Blackout dies and chambers. Each box contains 50 bullets, enough for a full reloading session or to test the platform before committing to larger quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these bullets suitable for subsonic .300 Blackout loads?

Yes. The 198-grain weight and controlled fracturing design work across the full .300 Blackout velocity spectrum, both subsonic and supersonic. Consult reloading references for your specific powder and primer combination to achieve your target velocity safely.

Will these work in my standard .300 Blackout rifle?

These are .308-diameter bullets designed for .300 Blackout chambers and are compatible with standard .300 Blackout reloading dies. Verify your firearm's chamber and consult your reloading manual for load data and safe handling procedures.

Are Lehigh Defense bullets lead-free?

Yes. These are solid copper with no lead core, making them compliant for lead-free hunting zones and areas with lead ammunition restrictions.

How many bullets are in a box?

Each box contains 50 bullets, providing enough material for a full reloading session or for testing the load before purchasing in bulk.
