What Makes This Different
Nosler's Assured Stopping Power line features precision-engineered hollow point bullets designed to expand reliably across a wide velocity range. The 124-grain weight provides an ideal balance between penetration depth and expansion diameter, meeting FBI protocol standards for defensive ammunition. Unlike generic hollow points that may fail to expand through barriers, these rounds maintain consistent performance through common clothing materials.
