Swift's A-Frame revolver bullets have earned their reputation among handgun hunters who want expansion and penetration out of the same projectile. This .357 caliber, 158-grain AFHP is built for handloaders chambering the .357 Magnum (and .38 Special if you want a stout load), and it brings Swift's bonded-core engineering down to a package that works in a wheelgun. Each bullet measures .357 inches in diameter with a sectional density of .177 and a ballistic coefficient of .183, so it tracks predictably once it leaves the muzzle.
The heart of this bullet is the cross-member copper jacket paired with a bonded front core. The forward lead core is bonded to a progressively tapered pure copper jacket that controls how fast the nose opens up across a wide velocity window. Behind the A-Frame partition sits a protected rear core that keeps the bullet driving straight and deep, even when it meets bone. That combination lets the A-Frame open up reliably while holding onto up to 95 percent of its original weight.
These are hunting bullets first and foremost, and they reward a careful handloader. Accuracy with A-Frame bullets often shows up best at near-maximum chamber pressures, so lean on a current load manual and work up carefully. The soft jacket and bonded build mean you get full expansion at handgun velocities while the frontal diameter stays controlled, usually opening to around 40 percent over the original diameter. That translates to a clean, deep wound channel on deer and hogs whether the shot is close or stretched out to the far edge of practical handgun range.
If you handload for a .357 Magnum revolver or lever gun and want a projectile you can trust on game, the A-Frame is one of the toughest, most consistent bullets you can seat in a case. Swift builds these to a hand-inspected standard, and that attention shows up on target and in the field.
These .357 diameter bullets are intended for handloading the .357 Magnum, and they'll also seat in .38 Special brass if you want a heavier bonded option in that case. They're projectiles only, so you'll supply your own brass, primers, and powder. Always reference a current load manual for the right data.
Yes, these are purpose-built hunting bullets. The bonded front core and protected rear core let them expand reliably while holding onto up to 95 percent of their weight, which makes for deep, straight penetration on deer and hogs. They're a strong choice for handgun hunters and .357 lever guns alike.
The A-Frame design controls frontal diameter so the nose opens up without coming apart, typically expanding to around 40 percent over its original diameter. The cross-member partition and tapered copper jacket keep that expansion in check across a wide velocity range. That balance is what gives the bullet its reputation for reliable terminal performance.
Accuracy with A-Frame bullets tends to show up best with loads running near maximum chamber pressure, thanks to the soft jacket and bonded construction. Work up your load carefully from published starting charges and watch for pressure signs. A current reloading manual is your best friend here.
