Underwood Controlled Chaos .223 Remington 62-grain Solid ammunition (brand part no. 420) loads a lead-free, fragmenting bullet originally developed at the request of an animal control agency that needed extensive wound trauma with minimal pass-through energy. Underwood Ammo engineered the Controlled Chaos bullet to burst into numerous particles at a predetermined depth, creating many individual wound channels and a large temporary cavity with proper shot placement, an improvement over the copper matrix frangible projectiles the agency had tried before. That fragmentation behavior also limits pass-through energy, reducing the risk of overpenetration compared to a standard solid or hollow point bullet. This is rifle ammunition for .223 Rem/5.56 NATO shooters who want dramatic terminal performance with reduced overpenetration risk.
