Lehigh Defense XD 40 S&W 115 Grain Xtreme Defense Lead-Free Ammo - 20 Rounds

Lehigh Defense XD 40 S&W ammunition delivers a unique solid copper bullet design built for shooters who prioritize penetration and terminal performance. These 115-grain lead-free rounds use Lehigh's Xtreme Defense projectile—a monolithic copper bullet engineered to maintain a straight penetration path while generating exceptional wound cavity characteristics. Whether you're stocking defensive rounds or testing specialized handgun ammunition at the range, this 20-round box of supersonic, brass-cased ammo offers a modern alternative to traditional expanding designs.

The Xtreme Defense bullet's solid copper construction and intentional geometry create rapid fluid flow that produces wound cavitation and tissue damage comparable to conventional hollow-point performance, but through a fundamentally different mechanism. This approach delivers consistent results across varying barriers and distances, making it a thoughtful choice for defensive shooters and hunters seeking a lead-free option without compromise on terminal ballistics.

Lehigh Defense's ammunition is loaded to industry standards and manufactured with quality control typical of dedicated specialty ammo producers. If you're exploring lead-free handgun rounds or simply want to understand how solid copper projectiles perform in real-world conditions, this 40 S&W loading provides a practical platform for evaluation.
