110gr Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos Copper BT Bullets - Old Bob - 12-31-2023
Has anyone here besides DNS (Carpe Sus videos) tried Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos bullets in 6.5 Grendel? I have some of these bullets made of copper at 110grs but haven't gotten around to reloading them yet. From DNSs' videos the controlled chaos bullets he used were brass that weighed 95grs. His results with the brass bullets were less than ideal. They didn't expand or fracture like the copper ones shown in Lehigh videos.
Lehigh has some load data for these bullets on their website. I guess it would be a good place to start. https://lehighdefense.com/ld-load-data Scroll down to 6.5 Grendel ...

I had tried them back a few years. I could not get good MV or consistent performance from them (on paper), I also tried some of the 95's, they looked and behaved a lot like DNS, way too strong of a metal to open up.
Bottom line, I took a pass on all of them.
The Maker T-rex and Barnes - trex 110, Barnes 100 and 115 - do and did a lot better. So for me I don't see a need for the lehighs.
