Hey there,

It's now been a while that the Lehigh Xtreme Penetrators have been out, Underwood has their own loads, and online reviews seem very positive...but you don't seem to hear about them much.

Have these gone by popular favor because of something I've missed?
 
Not that I know of... But most don't use them for defense. They are more useful in situations where you may want the deep penetration of hard ball, but may want a bit better wounding ability.

For defense, Lehigh makes a similar round designed for defense. Penetration is still good, near or a bit more than the FBI max, but better wounding characteristics.
 
I loaded up some of their 95-100 gr. solids with the "X" appearance on top for my 380. When shot at a hard target they maintain 100% weight retention and form a nasty looking star shape of copper petals similar to Barnes hunting bullets for rifles.
