Lehigh Defense 05224055CUSP .224 Caliber 55 Grain Controlled Chaos Lead-Free Reloading Bullets, 50 Count

Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos lead-free reloading bullets are engineered to create rapid, controlled bullet separation upon impact with fluid or soft tissue. The front portion of the bullet breaks into multiple copper petals that radiate outward from the original trajectory, producing a significant energy transfer and an expansive temporary wound cavity. The remaining bore-diameter copper base continues forward in a straight path to support deep penetration and consistent terminal performance.
The solid copper base is designed to maintain a penetrating core after the forward section separates, creating additional tissue disruption and helping support full penetration on appropriately sized game. This construction provides a combination of broad initial impact and a deep, straight-line wound channel. For best results in 22-250 Remington applications, Lehigh Defense recommends a 1:10 rifling twist. These bullets are intended for handloaders seeking a lead-free projectile with specialized terminal characteristics.
Part number 05224055CUSP contains 50 .224-caliber, 55-grain Controlled Chaos bullets. Each projectile uses copper for both the jacket and core, providing a lead-free construction suitable for users who require or prefer copper components. The .278 ballistic coefficient and .157 sectional density offer useful loading data points when developing compatible ammunition. Always consult current reloading manuals and verify load data, cartridge compatibility, seating depth, and stability before use. Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos bullets are sold as reloading components and require proper handloading equipment and procedures.
