Why is NoslerCustom® Ammunition more expensive than other brands of ammo? Nosler® uses only the best components in all of our ammunition. This means the finest hunting bullets from Nosler® as well as Nosler® Brass.

Self-defense ammo is usually made with a hollow point and is designed to stop an attacker in their tracks by expanding upon impact, which shocks the body and creates a larger wound. These bullets are also less likely to shoot through walls or your target, making them safer for home or personal defense.

Nosler was the standard bullet du jour, and in fact the non-premium standard to this day: a cup-and-core design. It's simple and brilliant, using a jacket of copper (the cup) around a lead core. Upon impact, the copper jacket peels back, and the lead core deforms to create the classic mushroom.

Bend, Oregon All Nosler® Rifles are hand assembled at the Nosler® manufacturing plant located in Bend, Oregon using the finest components.

Nosler has historically made some very high-quality, performance ammo, and they continue to do so today. Nosler ammo is very, very good. American-made ammo tends to be of the highest quality simply because that's where the most demanding market is, and Nosler has consistently worked to meet or exceed those demands.

A practice or ball round is typically completely enclosed, with no holes or grooves on the bullet. These rounds are less expensive than defensive rounds because they are mass-produced in larger quantities and are cheaper to manufacture. So if you're headed to the range to practice, ball ammunition is the way to go.

While Critical Defense bullets are designed for use in compact pistols, Critical Duty bullets are suited to full-sized handguns. They use heavier bullets and heavier powder charges than Critical Defense ammunition, resulting in less recoil and a more accurate feel.
