Frequently Asked Questions

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

The new Lehigh Defense facility is equipped with 21 CNC machines operating 20 hours a day, 6 days a week, enabling the production of approximately 50,000 bullets per day, totaling around 390,000 bullets per week.

What are the key advantages of Lehigh Defense's solid copper bullets?

Lehigh Defense's solid copper bullets offer lead-free performance, increased projectile stability due to their design, and allow for rapid prototyping and testing of multiple design variations efficiently.

How do Controlled Chaos and Xtreme Defense projectiles differ in their terminal ballistics?

Controlled Chaos projectiles feature petals designed to fragment upon entering fluid, creating massive tissue damage, while Xtreme Defense projectiles are non-deforming and use hydraulic energy to create large wound channels, performing reliably through barriers.

What specific cartridges are highlighted for Lehigh Defense projectiles?

The video highlights the 125gr Controlled Chaos load optimized for the 300 HAM'R cartridge in the AR-15 platform for hunting, and the 194gr Maximum Expansion subsonic projectile for the 300 Blackout cartridge.
