Best 9x19 grain for Glock pistols?

[anachronism]

I don't know for sure, but I think he was impressed with the hunting rounds by Leighi and that sparked his interest. The pistol rounds just came with the company. Leighi make multiple styles of handgun ammo and he carried the fluted rounds, because they work.

I think the fluted rounds are better than traditional ammo for the following reasons. First they are barrier blind, second they have no cavity to kill up with material so the round becomes like a ball round. I then think in the 357sig round with the over 2000fps speed they will do rifle like damage.

I don't see where they've been tested at those speeds, and Lehigh doesn't list them as a rifle/carbine bullet. The do have an extensive line of rifle bullets too of course. The 357 Legend has its own design, so no overlap there. Has this design been tested within FBI protocols at the velocities you're anticipating? I didn't see anything on YouTube either. I'm not bashing, just asking. It seems to be an omission on their part, or maybe I just didn't find what I was looking for.

Bullet construction is infinitely more important than weight.

New Lehigh factory.

I wouldn't mind investing in them.

Now that Lehigh has some serious money behind them some of these gaps can be closed. IIRC, they've been passed around a bit in the past by investors. Perhaps now things can get serious.

Guys I found the new prototype Leigh Defense projectiles they are developing.



But seriously, I wouldnt be jumping ship from JHPs to Lehigh projectiles unless I see some large dept OIS data or autopsy data correlated with lab testing, even something like being backed by professionals like DocGKR would be decent, as far as I know there is nothing but hearsay in terms of real world performance from their bullets.

We do need more testing with these bullets at higher velocities.

I did see some testing vs armor.

I wish I could test these myself but I don't have the facilities. I rely on the Underwood-loaded 68 gr Lehigh bullet in three guns. 9mm pistol (1710 fps), 9mm carbine (2120 fps) and .380 (1405 fps). These numbers are from my chronograph best I can recall at the moment.
