Underwood Ammo Xtreme Defender

[Porter Rockwell]

Do you believe the advertising and the hype of these pistol rounds?


The Xtreme Defender is based on the popular Xtreme Penetrator product line. The XD ammunition has an optimized nose flute, total weight, and velocity to achieve a penetration depth up to 18 inches* with a permanent wound cavity (PWC) that is just simply enormous; no other expanding hollowpoint comes close to achieving anywhere near this diameter and volume. Not only is the PWC over 100% larger than any other expanding bullet, expansion is achieved despite being shot through barriers. The solid copper body ensures that wallboard, sheet metal, and automotive glass will have no effect on the Permanent Wound Channel.

*Falling within FBI guidelines

This round offers:

• A permanent wound cavity (PWC)that is 2 times greater than any expanding bullet
• Reduced recoil
• CNC machined from solid copper to overcome barriers to penetration
• Radial flutes that force the hydraulic energy inward to build pressure
• Minimal surface area to increase the force at the point of contact and sharp cutting edges that defeat barriers

They can write about it all they want. There are obviously ways to test what they claim. Would like to see a guntuber run through the list and give honest feedback.

In for opinions and info.

I’m guessing this ammo doesn’t perform as advertised?

Its the velocity that gives the performance. These things are as advertised.

They look like they perform pretty close to advertised. The video I watched showed a pretty massive wound channel and good penetration.

There are some pretty good videos on the Lehigh Defense website on their different bullets. I ordered and have loaded some 68grain Defenders for .380. Not shot yet. Also after watching the Controlled Chaos vids ordered up some .264 to load for the Grendel. Seem pretty formidable....we'll see..

I've only shot them for function. They are in my carry gun
