The Swift A-Frame has earned a reputation among hunters who want a bonded bullet that holds together when it matters. This .30 caliber (.308 diameter) 200 grain projectile uses a soft, semi-spitzer lead nose that runs from the tip to the base, and that nose profile is shaped to shrug off recoil in the magazine so the point stays true round after round. The pure copper jacket tapers at the tip to meter out expansion across a wide window of velocities, which is a big part of why the A-Frame behaves so predictably whether you're pushing it fast in a magnum or running it slower out of a standard .308.
The name comes from the cross-member partition built into the jacket. The front core is bonded to the jacket using Swift's proprietary process, so the nose mushrooms out to roughly 2.2 times its diameter while the cross-member and the protected rear core stay intact to drive deep. That combination is how the A-Frame delivers controlled expansion and better than 95% weight retention at impact speeds from close-range to way out there. You end up with a wide wound channel and a bullet that pushes clear through heavy shoulders and bone.
This bullet measures 0.308 inches with an overall length of 1.315 inches, a sectional density of .301, and a G1 ballistic coefficient of .444. It's a flat-base design with no cannelure, so handloaders have room to work with seating depth. A 1:13 twist is the general recommendation for stabilizing this 200 grain weight, and there's published load data across a long list of .30 caliber cartridges including .308 Win, .30-06, .300 H&H, and the various .300 magnums.
Field reports back up the design. Hunters running Swift A-Frames on tough plains game and heavy hogs consistently point to the deep penetration and reliable mushrooming as the reasons they keep reaching for them. If you reload for anything from deer-sized game up through elk, kudu, and bigger, this 200 grain .30 cal bullet gives you a dependable, premium component to build around.
These are component projectiles for handloading, not loaded cartridges. You'll supply your own brass, powder, and primers to assemble finished rounds. The box holds 50 unloaded bullets.
This bullet shines on medium to large game thanks to its controlled expansion and deep penetration. Hunters run it on everything from deer and elk up through tough plains game and heavy hogs. The bonded front core and cross-member design keep it together through bone and shoulder.
A 1:13 twist is the general recommendation for stabilizing the .308 diameter 200 grain A-Frame. Many common .30 caliber rifles run 1:10 or 1:11 twists, which will also stabilize it without trouble. Slower twists than the recommendation may struggle to fully stabilize a bullet this long.
The A-Frame is built to hold better than 95% of its original weight at impact speeds from short range out to distance. The front core bonds to the jacket while the cross-member and protected rear core drive penetration. That's the combination that gives you reliable mushrooming and a deep wound channel.
