Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Controlled Chaos bullet design work, and what makes it different from standard hollow points?
Unlike a conventional hollow point that expands and stays in one piece, the Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos bullet is engineered to shed its front petals radially outward upon fluid contact, creating multiple simultaneous wound channels. The solid base of the bullet then continues to penetrate in a straight line, maximizing both the width and depth of the terminal wound cavity. This dual-action design combines the broad wounding of a fragmenting bullet with the deep penetration of a solid projectile.
Is this .223 Rem ammunition compatible with my AR-15 or bolt-action rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO?
This Lehigh Defense load is chambered in .223 Remington and will function reliably in any firearm with a .223 Rem chamber. It can also be safely fired in rifles with a 5.56 NATO chamber, as 5.56 chambers have slightly more headspace designed to accept both cartridge types. However, you should not fire 5.56 NATO ammunition in a rifle marked .223 Rem only. Always consult your firearm's owner's manual if you are unsure of your chamber designation.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting, and what size game is it appropriate for?
Yes, the Lehigh Defense 223 Rem 62 Grain Controlled Chaos is an excellent choice for hunting predators and medium-sized game such as coyotes, foxes, and similar animals. The combination of explosive petal separation and deep base penetration produces quick, ethical kills. For larger game, hunters should consult local regulations and consider whether a heavier caliber is more appropriate. Always verify that your intended use complies with applicable hunting regulations in your state or jurisdiction.
