The Swift A-Frame has earned its reputation as one of the toughest bonded hunting bullets a handloader can seat in a .338. This 225 grain version measures .338 inches in diameter and wears a semi-spitzer soft point profile, making it a natural match for the .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 RUM, .338-06, .338 Norma, and the rest of the medium-bore .338 family. If you want a bullet that behaves the same whether it's loafing along at moderate speed or screaming out of a magnum, this is the one hunters keep coming back to.
The whole design centers on an integral partition built into the jacket, with a bonded front core and a protected rear core. The front half opens up and transfers energy while the back half stays locked in place to drive straight through heavy bone and muscle. Swift rates the A-Frame for roughly 2.2x controlled expansion with 95 percent-plus weight retention, and real-world recoveries back that up. Hunters pulling these out of moose and elk routinely report near-perfect mushrooms and weight retention well into the high 90s. The pure copper jacket and tapered construction keep expansion in check regardless of impact velocity, so a close shot doesn't blow the bullet apart and a long poke still gets reliable opening.
This bullet carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of .384 and a sectional density of .281, which puts it right in the sweet spot for the .338 Win Mag. A popular handload pushes it somewhere in the 2,800 fps neighborhood, and plenty of reloaders have found excellent accuracy with powders like IMR 4350, H4831, and Reloder 22. The semi-spitzer nose is shaped to shrug off recoil battering while riding in the magazine, so it won't deform under the thump of a hard-kicking magnum.
From Alaskan brown bear and moose to a full bag of African plains game, the .338 A-Frame has a long track record on animals that don't tip over easy. It's the kind of bullet you load when a clean pass-through and deep penetration matter more than a flashy BC, and for the hunter who values dead-reliable terminal performance, that tradeoff is an easy one to make.
At .338 inch diameter, this bullet works in any .338 caliber cartridge you're loading. That includes the .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 RUM, .338-06, and .338 Norma Magnum, among others. The 225 grain weight is one of the most popular picks for the .338 Win Mag in particular.
Yes, it's a longtime favorite for exactly that kind of work. The bonded core and integral partition deliver deep penetration and hold together on heavy bone, and hunters consistently report recovered bullets with near-perfect mushrooms and weight retention in the high 90 percent range. It's equally at home on bear and African plains game.
This bullet has a G1 ballistic coefficient of .384 and a sectional density of .281. The BC is modest compared to a sleek long-range bullet, which is the tradeoff you make for its stout, deep-penetrating construction. Inside the practical range of the .338 Win Mag, it carries plenty of energy for big game.
Each box contains 50 bullets. This is a component projectile for handloading, so it does not include powder, primers, or brass.
