What Is the Lehigh Xtreme Cavitator?

Unlike conventional hollow point bullets that rely on expansion, the Lehigh Xtreme Cavitator uses a patented fluted solid copper design. Instead of mushrooming, the bullet uses rotational force and fluid displacement to create a significant wound cavity while maintaining projectile integrity.

• Controlled energy transfer

• Consistent penetration

This design offers a different terminal approach compared to traditional hollow point or soft point ammunition.

Hollow Point vs Xtreme Cavitator

• Dependent on velocity and target medium

• May clog under certain conditions

Lehigh Xtreme Cavitator:

• Does not rely on expansion

• Uses fluid displacement mechanics

• Solid copper construction

• Lead-free compliance

Both designs serve defensive purposes, and selection depends on user preference and application.

Typical Applications

This Underwood 30 Carbine load may be selected for:

• Defensive use

• Ranch or property defense

• Users seeking lead-free ammunition

Always ensure compliance with local laws and regulations regarding ammunition selection.

Compatibility Notes

Common platforms include:

• M1 30 Carbine rifles
