Swift A-Frame Heavy Rifle Bullets .470 Cal .475" 500 Gr Afss 50/Ct

If you're handloading for dangerous game or long-range rifle hunting where deep, reliable penetration is non-negotiable, the Swift A-Frame Heavy Rifle Bullets in .470 caliber offer proven performance when it matters most. These 500-grain bonded bullets combine a tapered jacket with a pure lead core and a soft-semi-spitzer nose design to deliver consistent, controlled expansion across a wide velocity range—the kind of predictability that separates a clean harvest from a wounded animal.

The A-Frame's signature cross-member copper jacket and bonded construction achieve approximately 95 percent weight retention, meaning the bullet stays together through heavy bone and muscle to reach vital organs. That integrity over distance is what makes Swift's design stand out among premium rifle bullets for big-game cartridges. The wraparound jacket base adds structural support, and the controlled expansion rate ensures the bullet performs as designed whether you're shooting at close range or stretching distance.

Each box contains 50 count of uncoated bullets—straightforward, no frills, just the terminal performance you need. Whether you're loading for .470 Nitro Express, .470 Capstick, or another .475" bore rifle, these heavy projectiles are built for the hunters and shooters who understand that bullet construction matters when the shot has to count.
