The Swift A-Frame in .338 caliber, 250 grain is about as serious as a lead-core hunting bullet gets. It carries a bonded front core joined to a pure copper jacket, plus an internal copper wall that splits the bullet into two distinct cores. When it hits, the front end opens up into a classic mushroom while that partition stops expansion cold, leaving the rear shank intact to keep pushing. The result is a projectile that reliably retains around 95% of its weight and expands to roughly 2.2 times its original caliber, which is why it penetrates deep and leaves a serious wound channel on heavy-boned animals.
Most bonded bullets pick a side: wide expansion or deep penetration. The A-Frame does both. Think of a Nosler Partition, but with the front core bonded to the jacket so it holds together instead of shedding lead. That bonding is the secret to its weight retention, and it is a big reason this design has earned a reputation on everything from elk and moose to African plains game. The pure copper jacket runs thin near the nose and thickens toward the base, which is what controls expansion across a wide velocity window.
This is a semi-Spitzer (AF/SS profile) flat-base bullet measuring 0.338 inches in diameter, with a listed sectional density of .313 and a G1 ballistic coefficient of .427. It's a natural fit for the .338 Winchester Magnum, the .338 Lapua, the .340 Weatherby, and other .338-bore cartridges where you want a tough bullet that won't come apart at magnum velocities. The exposed soft lead nose starts expansion predictably, and the heavy construction shrugs off recoil battering in the magazine during feeding.
Reloaders who hunt big game keep coming back to the A-Frame because it performs the same way shot after shot. If you're building a load for a hunt where bullet failure isn't an option, this is the kind of projectile that earns a permanent spot on the loading bench.
This bullet has a true .338 diameter (0.338 inches), so it works in any .338-bore cartridge. That covers popular rounds like the .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua Magnum, .340 Weatherby, and the .338-06. Always work up your load from published reloading data for your specific cartridge.
The A-Frame is known for exceptional weight retention, typically holding onto about 95% of its original weight. The bonded front core and internal partition are what make that possible, keeping the bullet together even at magnum velocities and through heavy bone. It's considered one of the highest weight-retaining lead-core bullets on the market.
With its deep penetration and controlled expansion, this is a heavy-game bullet through and through. It's a go-to for elk, moose, and large bear in North America, and it has a long track record on African plains game. The 250 grain weight in .338 gives you plenty of momentum for big, tough animals.
Both use a dual-core, partitioned design, but the A-Frame bonds its front core to the jacket while the Partition does not. That bonding lets the A-Frame retain more weight and expand wider, where a Partition tends to shed some of its front core. The A-Frame also uses a thicker pure copper jacket for even tougher construction.
