Swift A-Frame Heavy Rifle Bullets .458 Cal .458" 400 Gr Afss 50/Ct

If you're handloading for .458-caliber rifles—whether you're after dangerous game, long-range precision, or serious hunting at distance—the Swift A-Frame Heavy Rifle Bullets in .458" 400-grain are engineered to deliver the stopping power and deep penetration that big-bore shooters demand. Swift's A-Frame design has earned respect in the field by combining reliable expansion with exceptional weight retention, making these bullets a trusted choice for handloaders who can't afford bullet failure when it matters most.

The A-Frame's cross-member copper jacket and bonded front core work together to control expansion across a wide range of velocities, so your loads perform consistently whether you're at moderate ranges or pushing velocity for long-distance work. The 400-grain weight is built for the .458 platform, delivering the mass and momentum needed for deep, straight-line penetration through heavy bone and muscle. That 95 percent weight retention means the bullet stays together and continues driving forward—it doesn't shed core or fragment when it hits hard.

Construction details matter here: the soft-semi-Spitzer nose is shaped to minimize magazine feed stress and initiate controlled detonation, the tapered jacket governs expansion rate without sacrificing velocity potential, and the wraparound base jacket reinforces the rear section for maximum structural integrity. You get an uncoated bullet that performs on its own merits, no fancy coating needed. Each box contains 50 bullets, so you can develop loads with confidence knowing you've got consistent components from round to round.
