Wilson Combat’s .308 Winchester Tipped Xtreme Chaos load (brand part no. LA308165TXC) pairs a 165-grain bullet engineered by Lehigh Defense with a high-ballistic-coefficient polymer tip, built to punch through hard, dry barriers like wood, drywall, bone, or sheet metal without deforming prematurely. Wilson Combat markets the Xtreme Chaos line for shooters who need barrier-blind performance from a .308 Winchester rifle, and the lighter 165-grain weight adds velocity over the 175-grain version. Among rifle ammunition engineered for barrier-blind performance, this is a specialized .308 Winchester load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot this in a rifle marked 7.62 NATO? .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO chambers are dimensionally similar, and modern rifles chambered for either typically handle .308 Winchester — but commercial .308 Win runs at higher pressure than 7.62 NATO military spec, so check your rifle’s barrel markings or manufacturer guidance, especially on older military-spec 7.62 chambers.

Why choose 165gr over the 175gr TXC load? The lighter 165-grain bullet moves at a higher velocity, a common trade-off shooters weigh against the heavier 175-grain option’s retained downrange energy.
