Description
When you're carrying a compact revolver for serious game, you need ammunition that performs. The Federal Premium Swift A-Frame in .327 Federal Magnum pairs a time-tested bullet design with nickel-plated brass cases that handle the elements and extract reliably. This is the kind of load that turns that little revolver into a capable hunting tool.
The Swift A-Frame Bullet Design
The Swift A-Frame isn't just another hollow point. Federal engineered this bullet with two distinct sections: a bonded front core that expands consistently regardless of velocity, and a robust rear core that stays intact for penetration. This two-piece construction gives you controlled mushrooming without losing the bullet in the process. Real-world testing shows the 100-grain Swift A-Frame maintains around 95% weight retention, meaning most of that mass stays with the bullet channel after impact instead of fragmenting away. That matters when you're hunting in heavy brush or counting on follow-up shots.
Built for the .327 Federal Magnum Platform
The .327 Federal Magnum occupies a sweet spot that a lot of shooters overlook. You get near-.357 Magnum ballistics from a revolver that's smaller and lighter, with less brutal recoil. This load launches the 100-grain bullet at 1500 fps, generating 600 foot-pounds of muzzle energy from a compact platform. Those numbers put real hurt downrange while keeping recoil manageable enough for accurate follow-ups from a smaller frame revolver. The nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and promote smooth extraction, which matters when you're hunting in wet conditions or just want ammunition that feeds reliably shot after shot.
Loaded for Consistency
Federal Premium ammunition starts with quality primers subjected to strict inspections and clean-burning propellants formulated to their specifications. Every round is built for consistent ignition and reliable performance. This isn't budget ammunition that might go bang or might not. It's the kind of round you trust when distance matters and you won't get a second chance at your shot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Swift A-Frame bullet design different from standard hollow points?
The Swift A-Frame features a bonded two-piece construction with a front core engineered to expand consistently across a broad velocity range and a rear core that stays intact for deep penetration. This design maintains approximately 95% weight retention, meaning the bullet holds together through impact instead of fragmenting.
Is .327 Federal Magnum suitable for hunting medium game?
The .327 Federal Magnum produces ballistics comparable to the .357 Magnum with less recoil, making it well-suited for hunting deer and similar-sized game at woods ranges. Federal's 100-grain Swift A-Frame load delivers 1500 fps and 600 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, providing the penetration and expansion needed for reliable performance.
Can I use .327 Federal Magnum ammunition in older .32 H&R Magnum revolvers?
No. The .327 Federal Magnum is loaded to 45,000 psi, significantly higher than .32 H&R Magnum. Use .327 ammunition only in firearms specifically chambered for .327 Federal Magnum. However, .327 Federal Magnum revolvers can safely fire .32 H&R Magnum, .32 Long, .32 Short, and .32 ACP ammunition.
Why choose nickel-plated brass cases?
Nickel-plated cases offer better corrosion resistance than standard brass, which helps them hold up better in wet conditions or high-humidity environments. The nickel coating also assists with smooth extraction, reducing the chance of stuck cases in the cylinder.
