Swift's A-Frame is one of the most respected names in big-bore handgun hunting, and this .44 caliber component lets you build that performance into your own loads. Measuring .429" in diameter and weighing 300 grains, this is a stout bullet meant for serious work on heavy game. The A-Frame uses a thick copper jacket with an integral cross-member that splits the lead into two cores. The front core is bonded to the jacket and mushrooms like a classic soft point, while that internal wall stops expansion and keeps the rear core intact for straight-line penetration.
The payoff of that construction is weight retention most cup-and-core bullets simply can't match. Swift's heavy revolver A-Frame design begins expanding around 950 feet per second, opens to roughly 1.65 times its original diameter, and holds onto about 97 percent of its weight. That means a big frontal area driving deep, which is exactly what you want when pushing a 300-grain slug into a bear, hog, or heavy-bodied deer at close range.
One of the nicer things about working with A-Frames is that they don't demand special handling at the bench. The copper partition in the middle doesn't spike pressures, and the bullets seat and compress through the rifling like you'd expect. The usual rules apply here: start at the low end of your published data and work up while watching for pressure signs. These .429" bullets suit the common .44 Magnum and .44 Special handgun loads and work equally well in rifles chambered for those cartridges.
Swift built its reputation on bonded bullets that expand hard and still punch through, and the A-Frame has earned trust on game from whitetails to Cape buffalo across the broader lineup. If you handload for a .44 and want a hunting bullet that performs predictably when it counts, this is a proven choice worth stocking on the shelf.
These are reloading components only, not loaded ammunition. You'll need your own brass, primers, and powder to assemble finished cartridges. They're intended for handloaders building their own .44 caliber rounds.
The A-Frame uses a thick copper jacket with an internal cross-member that divides the bullet into two lead cores. The front core is bonded to the jacket for controlled expansion, while the partition protects the rear core so the bullet retains mass and penetrates deep. That combination lets it hold roughly 97 percent of its weight after impact.
These bullets measure .429" in diameter, which is the standard for .44 Magnum and .44 Special. They work in those handgun loads and in rifles chambered for the same cartridges. Always follow published load data for your specific cartridge and firearm.
No, they load much like standard bullets. The copper partition in the center does not cause pressure spikes and the bullet compresses through the rifling normally. As with any component, start at the low end of your published data and work up while watching for pressure signs.
