This video showcases the performance of Lehigh Defense's 9mm 115-grain Controlled Fracturing bullet through extensive testing conducted by Bill Wilson. The ammunition was fired into ballistic gel, both with and without 4 layers of denim, to demonstrate its terminal ballistics and reliability. The test also included a scenario where the bullet was stopped by body armor, highlighting its limitations. Renowned firearms instructors Ken Hackathorn and Paul Howe were present to discuss the results. The video explains Lehigh's proprietary Controlled Fracturing Technology, which creates multiple wound paths and a deep-penetrating base compared to traditional expanding bullets.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of the Lehigh Defense Xtreme Defense 9mm 90-grain bullet. It specifically highlights the "Fluid Transfer Monolithic Flutes" by comparing a bullet with and without them. The test demonstrates how these flutes create a "massive energy dump," causing the bullet to stop within 18 inches of gel. A high-speed camera captures the wound cavity at 4000 frames per second. The description emphasizes that the projectiles have identical meplat diameter and ogive shape, with the only difference being the presence or absence of flutes, achieved by removing weight from the 'fluteless' version. The Xtreme Defense is described as a solid copper projectile utilizing advanced technology for deep, straight penetration and a permanent wound cavity exceeding that of most expanding bullets, with reduced negative effects from barrier penetration.

This video compares Lehigh Defense's 90-grain Xtreme Defense 9mm bullet against a 124-grain premium hollow-point bullet. Both were fired from a Wilson Combat 4-inch Professional pistol through a plywood barrier and into ballistic gelatin. The test demonstrates the Xtreme Defense's superior barrier penetration compared to the hollow-point, which clogged and failed to expand. The video highlights the Xtreme Defense's solid copper construction and Fluid Transfer Monolithic technology, emphasizing its deep penetration and wound cavity. High-speed footage at 4000 frames per second captures the bullet performance.

This video features a ballistic gel test of Sellier & Bellot XRG solid copper expanding hollow point .380 defensive ammunition.
