The Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos ammunition transforms terminal ballistics through its innovative copper construction and engineered fragmentation design. This 45-grain projectile delivers devastating wound channels while maintaining consistent penetration across multiple calibers including 223 Remington, 22-250 Remington, and 5.56x45mm NATO.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets that expand unpredictably, the Controlled Chaos features a machined copper nose that fragments into four razor-sharp petals upon impact. The solid copper base continues penetrating 12-18 inches, creating a permanent wound cavity significantly larger than conventional ammunition. This dual-action design provides both immediate incapacitation and deep penetration without lead contamination.
Key Features
- Solid copper construction eliminates lead exposure and barrel fouling
- Engineered fragmentation creates four sharp copper petals on impact
- 45-grain weight optimized for high velocity in multiple calibers
- Consistent 12-18 inch penetration depth in ballistic gelatin
- Compatible with standard 1:9 and faster twist rate barrels
- Precision machined for sub-MOA accuracy potential
- 50-round factory box with consistent quality control
Field testing demonstrates exceptional performance in varmint hunting and tactical applications where rapid incapacitation is critical. The copper construction maintains structural integrity at velocities exceeding 3,200 fps, making it ideal for high-performance rifle platforms. Weather conditions have minimal impact on ballistic consistency due to the monolithic copper design.
