The Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos 223 Rem Bullets, 62 gr (Lehigh Defense part no. 05224062CUSP) are Lehigh Defense‘s lead-free bullet for 223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO, sold 50 to a box. Once Controlled Chaos impacts fluid, it sheds the front portion of the bullet into multiple petals that radiate outward away from the bullet’s initial trajectory path, producing a massive energy spike, while the bore-diameter base continues penetrating deeply in a straight line. Both the temporary and permanent wound cavity this separation creates are dramatic, and the solid base often produces additional tissue damage and full penetration. Lehigh Defense recommends a 1-in-7, 1-in-8, or 1-in-9 twist barrel for this bullet in 223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO.
