The Swift A-Frame in 6.5mm 140 grain is a component bullet built for handloaders who want dependable terminal performance on game. These are projectiles only, not loaded ammunition, so you'll be seating them in your own brass. The A-Frame has earned its reputation over decades as the yardstick other bonded bullets get measured against, and the 140 grain weight in .264 diameter is a sweet spot for cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×55 Swedish, .260 Remington, and the 6.5-284.
The heart of the design is that internal cross member, the "A-Frame" itself, which separates the front and rear lead cores. The front half mushrooms on impact for a wide wound channel, while the protected rear core stays intact to drive deep penetration. Swift bonds the pure lead core to the copper jacket using their own process, and that bond is what keeps the bullet together instead of shedding fragments. Expansion runs around 2.2 times original diameter with weight retention north of 95%, so you get a big, consistent mushroom whether the shot is up close at high velocity or stretched out where speed has dropped off.
The semi-spitzer nose profile is shaped to shrug off recoil battering while rounds sit in the magazine, so the tips stay true and your bullets feed clean. A progressively tapered jacket meters the rate of expansion across a wide velocity window, which is a big reason these perform the same across different 6.5 cartridges and barrel lengths. With a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.401 and a sectional density of 0.287, this 140 grain bullet carries energy well and bucks the wind reasonably for its class.
From whitetail and mule deer up through elk and larger animals, the A-Frame has the construction to handle heavy bone and still exit with authority. If you handload for a 6.5 and want one bullet that works across the board on big game, this is a proven choice worth keeping on the bench.
These are component bullets only, meaning the projectiles by themselves with no case, powder, or primer. They're made for handloaders to seat in their own brass. If you're looking for ready-to-shoot ammo, you'll want factory-loaded Swift A-Frame cartridges instead.
Any cartridge that uses a .264 diameter bullet will take these, including 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×55 Swedish, .260 Remington, 6.5-284 Norma, and 6.5 PRC. The 140 grain weight is a popular all-around choice for these rounds. Just be sure to check your reloading manual for load data specific to your cartridge.
This bullet is built for medium and big game, handling everything from whitetail and mule deer up through elk and larger animals. The bonded construction and 95%+ weight retention mean it drives deep and holds together through heavy bone. It's a trusted pick when you want one bullet that performs across a range of game.
The A-Frame's internal cross member keeps the rear core intact while the front half expands, so you get reliable mushrooming with better than 95% weight retention. Swift bonds the lead core to the copper jacket, which prevents the bullet from fragmenting. Expansion runs about 2.2 times the original diameter for a wide wound channel.
