The Swift A-Frame Revolver Bullet in .45 caliber is built for handloaders who run heavy-for-caliber loads in big-bore wheelguns and want terminal performance they can count on. At .452 diameter and 325 grains, this is a stout projectile meant for hunting and deep-driving penetration, not plinking. Swift has been making the A-Frame in Quinter, Kansas since the early 1980s, and it has earned a reputation as one of the toughest lead-core bullets you can load.
The heart of this design is the dual-core bonded construction. A soft lead front core sits ahead of a solid copper cross-member, with a protected rear core behind it. On impact the front initiates aggressive, controlled expansion while the bonded jacket keeps the lead from wiping away, and the rear core drives deep. Swift lists weight retention up to 95 percent, and recovered A-Frames routinely mushroom to nearly double diameter while holding onto almost all their original mass. That combination of wide expansion and heavy retention is exactly why the A-Frame has a loyal following among big-game and dangerous-game hunters.
The .452 diameter is a proper fit for .45 Colt, .454 Casull, .460 S&W and similar big-bore revolver cartridges, so you can tailor it to your platform during load development. Reloaders have run these from stout magnum pressures down to more moderate loads depending on the gun and the game. Many handloaders treat the A-Frame like a mono-metal bullet when working up a load, seating slightly off the lands and backing in from there to find the accuracy node their revolver likes.
The A-Frame is a short-range, hard-hitting bullet by design, not a high-BC long-range projectile, and that suits revolver hunting distances perfectly. It opens up fast, punches through heavy muscle and bone, and keeps going. For anyone chasing elk, bear, hogs or tough plains game with a big revolver, this is the kind of bullet that gives you confidence on a quartering shot.
These are .452 inch diameter projectiles. That makes them a proper fit for big-bore revolver cartridges like .45 Colt, .454 Casull and .460 S&W. Always confirm diameter against your published load data before loading.
The A-Frame uses a dual-core design with a solid copper cross-member separating a bonded front core from a protected rear core. Unlike the Partition, the front core is bonded to the jacket, which keeps the lead from wiping away and pushes weight retention up toward 95 percent. The result is wide expansion with deep, controlled penetration.
This is a heavy-for-caliber hunting bullet built for tough, close-range work out of a revolver. Handloaders use them on elk, bear, hogs and larger game where deep penetration and weight retention matter on quartering or shoulder shots. It is a short-range terminal bullet, not a long-range target projectile.
Yes, always use published data developed for the specific caliber, bullet weight and bullet type you are loading. Many handloaders treat the A-Frame like a mono-metal bullet during workup, seating slightly off the lands and adjusting to find the accuracy node their revolver prefers. Start low and work up carefully.
