Lehigh Defense 9mm 105 Grain Solid Copper Controlled Fracturing Bullets - Lead-Free (Box of 50)

Lehigh Defense 9mm 105 grain solid copper controlled fracturing bullets represent a purpose-built approach to handgun ammunition reloading. These lead-free projectiles are engineered with Lehigh's proprietary controlled fracturing technology, which fundamentally changes how a bullet performs on target. Unlike conventional hollow points that rely on a single expansion mechanism, these bullets are CNC-machined from solid copper and pre-stressed at specific points to create a multi-channel wound path once they reach a predetermined penetration depth.

The controlled fracturing design works by initiating expansion through hydraulic energy rather than relying on velocity alone. As the bullet penetrates, the pre-stressed copper fractures in a controlled manner, deploying razor-sharp petals that radiate outward from the primary wound channel. Simultaneously, the bullet's shank—returned to bore diameter—continues driving straight and deep along the original impact path. The result is a minimum of four separate wound channels, delivering extensive tissue damage while maintaining deep penetration. This dual-mechanism approach gives you terminal performance that's genuinely different from swaged or formed alternatives.

Precision manufacturing matters here. Every round is CNC-machined from solid material, not stamped or formed, which means tighter tolerances and more consistent performance round to round. That manufacturing rigor also produces excellent accuracy potential—something reloaders appreciate when they're investing time in handload development. The lead-free copper construction makes these rounds suitable for indoor ranges and areas with lead-use restrictions.

A single box contains 50 bullets, giving you enough volume to develop loads, test performance, and run practice sessions without constantly resupplying. Whether you're loading for personal defense, hunting, or precision pistol work, these bullets reward careful load development with reliable, dramatic terminal effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Lehigh's controlled fracturing different from standard hollow point bullets?

Controlled fracturing bullets are pre-stressed and designed to fracture in a controlled manner at a predetermined penetration depth. This creates multiple wound channels—a minimum of four—while the bore-diameter shank continues deep penetration along the original path. Expansion is initiated by hydraulic energy rather than relying on a single hollow-point cavity, giving you consistent, multi-channel damage.

Are these bullets lead-free?

Yes, these 9mm 105 grain bullets are manufactured from solid copper and contain no lead. This makes them suitable for indoor ranges and jurisdictions with lead-use restrictions.

What's included in a box?

Each box contains 50 individual bullets ready for reloading.

Can I reload these for hunting or defensive use?

Yes—reloaders use these bullets for a variety of purposes including hunting, personal defense, and precision shooting. Proper load development with your specific firearm and powder combination is essential for safe and effective performance.
