Frequently Asked Questions

What is the production capacity of the new Lehigh Defense facility?

The new Lehigh Defense manufacturing plant is capable of producing approximately 50,000 bullets per day, which equates to around 390,000 to 400,000 solid copper bullets per week, operating 20 hours a day, 6 days a week.

What are the key advantages of CNC machined solid copper bullets?

CNC machined solid copper bullets offer lead-free performance, increased projectile stability, and allow for rapid prototyping and testing of multiple design variations within a single day due to the precision of the manufacturing process.

How does Lehigh Defense ensure quality in its bullet production?

Quality control at Lehigh Defense involves machining to extremely tight tolerances, down to 0.0005 inches. They implement 100% inspection of first articles and maintain strict lot control throughout the manufacturing process.

What is the difference between Controlled Chaos and Xtreme Defense bullets?

Controlled Chaos bullets are designed for hunting and fragment upon fluid entry to cause massive tissue damage. Xtreme Defense bullets are non-deforming, fluted projectiles that use hydraulic energy for large wound channels and are barrier-blind.
