Nosler's Assured Stopping Power line brings serious factory ammunition quality to .38 Special revolvers. This 125 grain load combines accuracy standards evolved from Nosler's Match Grade ammunition with a purpose-built hollow-point bullet designed to expand reliably at typical defensive distances.
The ASP hollow-point features precision skives cut into the jacket that control expansion across different impact velocities. This engineered approach ensures the bullet opens predictably whether you're shooting through cloth or at closer distances. The skive design works with a pure lead core wrapped in a copper-alloy jacket for the balance and weight retention needed to avoid over-penetration while maintaining energy transfer. Nosler's manufacturing tolerances keep these bullets flying straight round after round.
Loaded on Nosler headstamped brass with consistent components throughout, this ammunition performs the same way shot to shot. The 125 grain bullet leaves the barrel at 930 fps, a moderate velocity that keeps recoil manageable on snubby revolvers while delivering solid penetration. These rounds are equally at home in compact carry revolvers, duty weapons, or classic service models. The smooth-feeding bullet design means you get reliable feeding from virtually any .38 Special revolver without the fussiness that comes with some match-grade loads.
The ASP line uses a skived jacket design that creates precise expansion characteristics across a range of impact velocities. Nosler evolved this bullet from their Match Grade ammunition line, meaning you get factory ammunition with the same quality control and consistency usually reserved for match-grade loads. The hollow-point is engineered specifically for defensive use rather than just a generic expanding bullet.
Yes, the ASP .38 Special works in both platform types. Nosler designed these rounds as versatile loads that perform equally well in revolvers and lever-action rifles used for hunting and personal defense. The 125 grain load and moderate 930 fps velocity keep recoil manageable while delivering consistent terminal performance.
This is a standard-pressure load that sits in the middle of typical factory .38 Special performance. At 930 fps with a 125 grain bullet, you're looking at moderate velocity that balances recoil management with solid penetration. It's slower than some +P loads but delivers adequate performance without the sharper recoil that can make quick follow-up shots slower from snub revolvers.
Nosler headstamped brass is quality brass suitable for reloading if you choose to do so. However, as factory ammunition loaded and tested by Nosler, each round is ready to shoot as-is from any standard .38 Special revolver or firearm.
