The Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos 175gr bullet delivers devastating terminal performance through its innovative fracturing design that creates multiple wound channels while maintaining deep penetration. This copper-based projectile transforms traditional hunting and tactical ammunition expectations by producing both immediate tissue damage and reliable penetration depth across multiple calibers including 30-06 Springfield, 308 Winchester, 300 Winchester Magnum, and 300 WSM.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional hollow point bullets that rely solely on expansion, the Controlled Chaos design features pre-stressed fracture points that separate into multiple fragments upon impact while the bullet base continues forward. This dual-action terminal ballistics creates a larger wound cavity than standard expanding bullets while ensuring adequate penetration for ethical harvests on large game. The solid copper construction eliminates lead concerns and maintains consistent performance across various impact velocities.
Key Features
- 175-grain solid copper construction with controlled fracturing design
- Compatible with 30-06 Springfield, 308 Winchester, 300 Winchester Magnum, and 300 WSM
- Pre-stressed fracture points create multiple wound channels
- Retained bullet base ensures deep penetration beyond 12 inches
- Lead-free design meets all hunting regulations
- Boat tail profile maintains accuracy at extended ranges
- 50 bullets per box for consistent load development
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion across impact velocities from 1,800 to 3,000 fps, making these bullets effective for both close-range hunting and long-distance precision shooting. The fracturing petals create immediate tissue damage while the remaining bullet mass penetrates deeply enough for vital organ disruption on elk, deer, and similar-sized game. Weather conditions and barrel fouling have minimal impact on performance due to the smooth copper surface finish.
