Description
The Controlled Chaos design separates this ammunition from conventional hunting loads. When the bullet contacts soft tissue, the frontal portion fragments into multiple petals that radiate outward while the bore-diameter base continues its trajectory deep into the target. This dual-action approach creates both immediate energy transfer and reliable penetration, a combination that appeals to hunters who want expansion without sacrificing through-and-through performance.
Supersonic Performance for Versatile Range
Loaded to 2350 feet per second with 1410 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, this 115-grain load sits squarely in the supersonic category. That means you get useful downrange energy and effective shooting distances out to 150-300 yards depending on your barrel length and firearm setup. The flat-base design promotes consistency from shot to shot, and the round feeds reliably in standard .300 Blackout platforms.
Lead-Free Construction That Works
Solid copper construction means this ammunition operates cleanly in any environment and works where lead-free projectiles are required. You're not sacrificing performance to meet those standards either. The copper is precisely machined and engineered specifically for controlled fragmentation, not just a softer-than-traditional-copper frangible round that fragments too easily or leaves inconsistent wound channels. The reloadable brass casing is non-corrosive and boxer-primed, so if you're into handloading, you can use these cases again.
A Practical Round for Working Distance Hunting
This ammunition came about from years of real-world feedback on what field conditions demand. The Controlled Chaos bullet delivers consistent terminal performance on game-sized targets without the unpredictable behavior of some specialty rounds. If you're hunting medium-sized game from your AR platform in a practical hunting situation, this load gives you confidence in both shot placement and what happens afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Controlled Chaos bullet actually perform on game?
The Controlled Chaos design sheds the front portion of the bullet into multiple petals upon impact with soft tissue, creating a wide wound cavity and rapid energy transfer. Meanwhile, the solid bore-diameter base continues straight through, providing reliable penetration and often complete pass-through. This two-stage performance gives you expansion without losing deep-driving capability.
Is this .300 Blackout load subsonic or supersonic?
This is a supersonic load at 2350 fps, designed for longer-range hunting applications and flatter trajectory compared to subsonic options. Subsonic loads typically run 1000-1100 fps and are better suited for suppressed short-range work. This 115-grain round works well from 16-inch barrels and delivers useful energy out to practical hunting distances.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Yes, the cases are boxer-primed and reloadable brass. They're non-corrosive, so they're fine to clean and reload. Just make sure you match your powder and primers to .300 Blackout handloading data if you decide to reuse them.
Is this ammunition lead-free, and does it perform as well as lead-core rounds?
The ammunition uses solid copper construction and is completely lead-free, making it suitable for sensitive environments. The Controlled Chaos design is specifically engineered for copper solids and doesn't rely on lead to achieve its terminal performance. You're getting purpose-built ballistics, not a compromise.
