Lehigh Defense 05224045CUSP .224 Controlled Chaos 45 Grain Lead-Free Reloading Bullets

Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos bullets are engineered for rapid, controlled expansion and deep penetration in hunting applications. Part number 05224045CUSP features a lead-free copper construction designed to separate upon impact, shedding the front portion into multiple petals that radiate outward from the bullet’s original path. This creates a substantial temporary wound cavity while the remaining solid base continues forward for deep, straight-line penetration.
The Controlled Chaos design combines dramatic tissue disruption with a durable penetrating base. As the front section breaks apart, the resulting petals produce multiple wound channels and a rapid transfer of energy. The solid copper base continues through the target, contributing to permanent tissue damage and helping promote reliable penetration, including the potential for full pass-through performance depending on the animal, shot placement, and impact conditions.
These .224-caliber reloading bullets are suited for handloaders seeking a lead-free option for compatible centerfire rifle cartridges, including the 22-250 Remington. Lehigh Defense recommends a 1:10 rifling twist for 22-250 Remington applications. With a ballistic coefficient of .222 and a sectional density of .128, the 45-grain bullets are designed to provide a balance of velocity, stability, expansion, and penetration. Each package contains 50 bullets for load development, practice, or hunting preparation. Always follow established reloading procedures, consult reliable load data, and verify compatibility with your firearm and cartridge before use.
