Nosler Assured Stopping Power 40 S&W 150gr JHP - 20 Rounds per Box

The Nosler Assured Stopping Power 40 S&W 150gr JHP round delivers proven defensive performance built on Nosler's reputation for meticulous ammunition manufacturing. Each round pairs a 150-grain jacketed hollow point bullet with Nosler brass and precision loading standards, making it a dependable choice for shooters who prioritize stopping power and reliability in 40 S&W defensive loads. Whether you're training at the range or carrying for personal protection, this ammunition combines Nosler's quality control with ballistics engineered for consistent expansion and energy transfer.

Nosler's approach to manufacturing these rounds reflects the same precision that goes into their match-grade competition ammunition. Every piece of brass is inspected for correct length, neck-sized, chamfered, and checked for proper flash hole alignment. Powder charges are individually weighed, and finished rounds are visually inspected and polished before boxing. This attention to detail ensures that rounds perform consistently shot to shot, which matters when you're depending on your ammunition to perform under real conditions.

The 150-grain hollow point configuration generates 1110 feet per second muzzle velocity and 410 foot-pounds of muzzle energy—ballistics designed for reliable expansion in defensive scenarios while maintaining adequate penetration. The JHP bullet design is engineered to expand on impact, transferring energy effectively while minimizing over-penetration concerns. This 20-round box format is convenient for range sessions, training drills, or keeping your carry ammunition fresh and current.
