The LEHIGH DEFENSE Controlled Chaos 45 gr .224 is a solid-copper projectile intended for handloading in 223 Remington, 22-250 Remington, and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges. The design features an engineered frontal section that separates on impact with appropriate media while a bore-diameter base continues to penetrate. The result is a combination of frontal fragmentation and a retained base to provide consistent, predictable performance for field or target applications.
