Xtreme Defense 90gr 9mm Bullet with and without Flutes Fluid Transfer Monolithic Ballistic Gel Test.

- We tested the Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense 90-Grain 9mm Bullet in a 20 inch FBI Calibrated Gelatin Block. We wanted to show how important the Fluid Transfer Monolithic Flutes are to the bullet. We shot a bullet with and a bulet without the flutes to prove that the FTM creates a massive energy dump that stops the bullet in 18 inches of gel. We used a highspeed camera at 4000 frames per second to show the wound cavity.
THESE TWO PROJECTILES HAVE IDENTICAL MEPLAT DIAMETER AND OGIVE SHAPE/RADII. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THAT ONE HAS FLUTES AND THE OTHER DOES NOT.
WEIGHT REMOVED FROM “FLUTELESS” VERSION BY DRILLING OUT REAR OF PROJECTILE
Xtreme Defense is machined from solid copper with the most advanced technology called Fluid Transfer Monolithic. The progressive geometry allows for deep, straight penetration while creating a permanent wound cavity diameter exceeding that of most expanding bullets. Penetrating barriers such as drywall or heavy clothing prior to impacting the intended target doesn’t have the potentially negative effect on the Xtreme Defense that it does to conventional hollow point bullets.

This has been my defensive load for several years now. Thankfully never had to test them in real life
Good to see y'all posting videos again
Thank you for posting this content. It’s hilarious how people still want to deny that those defenders work better than HP’s. That fluted design is the future in defensive ammo, and there are studies out there now to prove it. I will provide links to anyone who asks.
I’d most certainly would like to see some.
A better look at the permanent wound channel would be nice. :)
Nice demo of how effective the flutes are. I wish CCI 22 lr lead free for small game would take note as those are copper polymer and would benefit similarly!
Thank u for showing this I love them 😁👊
You bet
I use the 355 118 gr Xtreme defense bullets when handloading my 350 legend for taking feral hogs with my Wilson Combat AR in Texas. They perform extremely well, drop the hogs quickly. Same AR with 90 gr rounds doubles as my home defense rifle.
In everything i jave ever watched and thats been alot on these rounds never thought for one second they are a gimmick impressive stuff like the conparision to
I find this round very accurate in all my 9's. Wouldn't the fluted weigh slightly less with the fluted material removed?
this bullet in .40 is insane
👍
these are even more impressive in actual meat 🍖 targets
I'm surprised he didn't point out the incredible amount of cavitation with the fluted bullet. That's the load I have in my personal carry 9mm. Impressive round
This certainly shows that the flutes act as a brake, catching and scooping bits of gel media, slowing it down in an ideal penetration depth.
Now I'm looking for a demo showing how the permanent wound cavity compares to that of a JHP.
I would love a traditional 90gr schp also in the lineup. Something with moderate expansion and deep penetration but with low recoil. I thing focusing more on controlled expansion would make these 9mm schp much shorter in length wich is the only weekness of lead free bullets on pistols.
90gr seems light for a defensive load. I would use 124gr or 147gr instead. Force = mass x acceleration, so a higher grain bullet will have more stopping power since it has more mass.
Hey the one without flutes has a market also. Especially if they make one .400 for 10mm auto. They would be perfect for dangerous game were bone crushing penetration is desirable. Make one about 175 gr. The cost should be lower as the time saved for no flutes. They can make great training for using fluted version. No Lead
They make the xtreme penetrator for that. On the shelf already.
I’m running the 68 grain +p from underwood ammunition. At 1800 fps its absolutely devastating on a raccoon
You guys sell loaded bullets are just the bullet it self
very cool... do the flutes also
help w/ initial penetration
before dumping energy
w/in the fluid/soft
material/target?
LEFTY!! 😁

Impressive but I'm still on the fence as to whether a pistol rd can create the kind of shockwave we see in rifle rds. But I do think it's worth keeping an eye on this load design and see what sort of (anecdotal/empirical) evidence develops in the coming years. Maybe someone can test it on wild hog, plenty of those bastards out there running around ruining crap.
Who uses an unfluted 90 grain 9mm bullet? Wouldn't comparison with a 115 or 124 grain bullet make more sense?
No because it’s showing u what the flutes do! Good god people wake up 😳
@@mrgrump2534 What the flutes do in a bullet of completely different weight. Got it.
I want to try them out. What's the best place to buy from? Where do I get them? I'm having a hard time finding these. Also, what do they cost?
Why does Underwood call them Xtreme Defender and you call them Xtreme Defence and if the Information on the velocity is 10 fps faster on the fluted projectile then they are not traveling at the same velocity?
Put it up against a gold dot .Way more fair . I am a fan and a long time customer of Lehigh Defense but this compares nothing really . Is it better then range ammo ? I would hope so lol
Then don’t buy them
@@mrgrump2534 I was criticizing the video not the product stupid . I already loaded a few hundred and have done my own testing .
Everybody is a critic today aparently…
Curious as to how yall got them the same weight and size if one is missing a significant amount of materials? Especially if they are both monolithic and made of the same material. However I imagine one or more of my assumptions may be wrong
We removed weight by drilling out the rear of the projectile.
Now make a bullet that I can use when reloading 5.7x28mm
18" is thicker than average person. It is still going through a person.
It's not a one to one application, for instance the FBI concluded that in order to replicate human skin resistance to penetration requires 3" of gel. Humans have bones, gristle and varying levels and placement dense organs that vary penetration inconsistently.
Not from the side... and gel only replicates one type of tissue in the body, muscle, not the bone, cartilage, and other things. Also the FBI uses 4 layers of denim and think their acceptable penetration is no less than 16 or 18 inches. The gel is just consistent medium in which we can compare results
People who make comments about Lehigh defense bullets being ‘gimmicky’ show instantly that they have no idea what they’re talking about, and only trying to make folks believe otherwise…wannabee’s.
