This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of Nosler ASP ammunition in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP calibers. The test involved shooting through two layers of sheetrock with insulation and a water jug to assess penetration and expansion. The Nosler ASP bullets are designed with skives for controlled expansion and consistent penetration, aiming to hold together and penetrate targets effectively.

Quick Summary

Nosler ASP ammunition is designed with internal skives to promote controlled expansion and consistent penetration. In a ballistic test involving two layers of sheetrock with insulation and a water jug, all tested calibers (9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) successfully penetrated these barriers, showcasing the ammunition's robust penetration capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the skives in Nosler ASP bullets?

The skives in Nosler ASP bullets are a design feature intended to help control the bullet's expansion upon impact. This controlled expansion aims to ensure more consistent penetration into the target while maximizing terminal performance.

How did Nosler ASP ammunition perform in the sheetrock and water jug test?

In the conducted test, Nosler ASP ammunition in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP calibers all successfully penetrated two layers of sheetrock with insulation and continued through a large water jug, demonstrating significant barrier penetration capabilities.

What is the key design philosophy behind Nosler ASP ammunition?

The core design philosophy of Nosler ASP ammunition is focused on penetration. These bullets are engineered to hold together and penetrate effectively into the target, ensuring reliable performance in various scenarios, contrasting with some hollow points designed primarily for rapid expansion.

What specific load data was provided for the .45 ACP Nosler ASP?

For the .45 ACP test, the ammunition used was a 230-grain Nosler ASP bullet. It was fired from a short-barreled gun and achieved an approximate velocity of 850 feet per second.
