The Nosler 51285 Assured Stopping Power (ASP) 9mm Luger ammunition delivers reliable terminal performance with precision-engineered 115-grain jacketed hollow point bullets. This defensive ammunition combines proven hollow point expansion with consistent accuracy for personal protection applications.
What Makes This Different
Nosler's ASP line features carefully selected bullet designs optimized for reliable expansion and penetration in defensive scenarios. The 115-grain jacketed hollow point configuration provides an ideal balance of velocity and controlled expansion compared to heavier bullet weights that may over-penetrate. Each cartridge undergoes quality control testing to ensure consistent powder charges and reliable ignition across temperature variations.
Key Features
- 115-grain jacketed hollow point bullets for controlled expansion
- Optimized powder charge for consistent 1,150+ fps muzzle velocity
- Premium brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Reliable ignition primers tested across temperature ranges
- 20-round packaging ideal for range training and carry rotation

This ammunition performs consistently in both compact carry pistols and full-size service weapons. The 115-grain bullet weight cycles reliably in most 9mm platforms while maintaining sufficient energy for defensive applications. Testing data indicates reliable expansion at velocities between 950-1,200 fps, making it suitable for barrels ranging from 3 to 5 inches. The hollow point design penetrates barriers while expanding predictably in soft tissue.
