Description
The Nosler Assured Stopping Power line brings precision ammunition engineering to revolver and lever-action shooters. This .44 Magnum load pairs the same quality standards from Nosler's Match Grade ammunition with a hollow-point bullet specifically engineered for controlled expansion and reliable performance.
Design Built for Real-World Use
The skived jacket design is the key difference here. Those precision cuts in the jacket nose and mouth create consistent reliefs that promote reliable expansion across a range of impact velocities. This matters whether you're shooting out of a 4-inch snubnose or a 6-inch barrel. The bullet expands predictably without over-penetrating, which means energy transfer stays focused where it counts. Combined with a pure-lead core held tight by a well-defined cannelure, you get the kind of performance consistency that comes from precision manufacturing.
Loaded Right from the Start
Each round starts with quality Nosler headstamped brass and moves through their loading process with the same attention to detail that Match Grade users expect. The 240-grain weight is the workhorse of .44 Magnum loads, hitting a balance between energy and manageability that works across hunting applications and defensive scenarios. You'll get a muzzle velocity rated at 1450 fps, which means realistic performance from standard revolver barrels without unnecessary stress on the gun.
Built for Multiple Roles
Whether you're putting rounds downrange at the range, working on field accuracy for hunting, or carrying for defense, this ammunition handles all three roles without compromise. The controlled expansion means it works on game and performs reliably for duty or defensive use. Twenty rounds per box makes it practical for practice sessions, and the reloadable brass means you can reload if you choose to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the skived jacket design in this ASP load different from standard hollow points?
The skived jacket has precision cuts in the nose and mouth of the copper jacket that create reliefs allowing for rapid, consistent expansion across different impact velocities. This engineered approach gives you reliable expansion without sacrificing feeding reliability, and it helps prevent over-penetration by controlling how the bullet opens.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting with a .44 Magnum revolver?
Yes. The 240-grain JHP is a proven hunting weight that delivers good penetration and expansion characteristics for medium game. The controlled expansion design makes it effective for hunting applications, and the consistency of this factory load gives you the accuracy needed for field shooting.
Can I reload the brass from Nosler ASP ammunition?
Yes, the ammunition is loaded in reloadable Nosler headstamped brass. The brass is quality enough for handloading if you choose to reload your spent cases.
How does the 1450 fps velocity compare to other .44 Magnum loads?
This is a moderate velocity load that provides realistic performance from standard revolver barrels. It's not a maximum power load but rather engineered for consistent expansion and controlled penetration, making it suitable across different revolver barrel lengths without pushing pressures unnecessarily high.
