Nosler 45 Cal 230gr JHP ASP (250ct)

The Nosler 45 Cal 230gr JHP ASP (250ct) is a match-grade bullet component crafted for handloaders who prioritize consistent expansion, feeding reliability, and precision performance in .45 Auto platforms. This is a bullet-only product—not factory-loaded ammunition. Each box contains 250 bullets produced to Nosler’s high standards, ideal for custom defensive, competition, and target shooting loads.

Featuring the Anti‑Stress Profile (ASP), this 45 Cal 230gr bullet utilizes a jacketed hollow-point (JHP) design with a copper-alloy jacket over a uniform lead core. The hollow cavity and small meplat promote controlled expansion and tight groupings. The ASP manufacturing process relieves jacket stress to improve concentricity and weight consistency—essential for repeatable accuracy in rapid-fire scenarios.

Machined precisely to a 0.451″ diameter with an overall length optimized for 45 Auto semi-automatics, the bullet stabilizes reliably in barrels with common twist rates. Ballistic specifications include a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.170 and a sectional density of 0.173—supporting stable flight, consistent energy delivery, and predictable terminal penetration typical of 230gr .45 Auto loads.

Reloaders combining the 45 Cal 230gr JHP ASP bullet with powders such as Winchester 231, Alliant Bullseye, or Hodgdon Titegroup report reliable expansion, smooth feeding, and sub-inch groupings at defensive distances. The ASP JHP profile supports consistent crimping and cycling in both revolver and autoloader platforms, making it well-suited to IDPA competition or personal defense load development.

This product, as a bullet component only, requires handloaders to use proper brass, primers, and powder and to follow verified load data. With Nosler’s ASP technology, this 45 Cal 230gr JHP bullet ensures improved structural integrity and consistent terminal performance—making it a top choice for precision-minded .45 Auto reloaders.
