Swift A-Frame Revolver Bullets .357 Cal .357" 180 Gr Afhp 50/Ct

Swift A-Frame revolver bullets in .357 caliber deliver the controlled expansion and deep penetration serious handloaders demand for hunting, defense, and target work. These 180-grain AFHP (armor-piercing hollow point) rounds combine full metal jacket performance with soft point expansion characteristics—a dual-purpose design that sets them apart from conventional cast or jacketed rounds.

The A-Frame's signature engineering centers on a bonded core architecture: a lead core with a soft point front section initiates reliable expansion on impact, while a reinforced rear core is designed to resist deformation and retain mass through heavy game or barriers. The result is a bullet that expands predictably without fragmenting, maintaining structural integrity where it counts. Swift rates these bullets to retain up to 95 percent of their original weight, translating to deep, straight-line wound channels and consistent terminal performance across a range of velocities.

Built with a copper-jacketed, bonded construction, the A-Frame tolerates the pressures and velocities of .357 Magnum loads while delivering accuracy suitable for both revolver hunters and precision handloaders. Each box contains 50 bullets, sized .357" for standard .357 Magnum and .38 Special chambers. Whether you're loading for a hunting revolver, a classic Magnum, or high-velocity defensive work, these rounds offer the weight retention and controlled expansion that separates reliable field ammunition from the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Swift A-Frame .357 bullets compatible with .38 Special?

Yes. The .357" bullet diameter works in both .357 Magnum and .38 Special chambers. However, load data and powder charges will differ between the two cartridges—always consult your reloading manual for the specific chambering you're using.

What's the difference between the A-Frame and other .357 hunting bullets?

Swift A-Frame bullets use a bonded core design with a soft point front and reinforced rear section. This architecture delivers controlled expansion from the front and mass retention from a protected core in the back, reducing the risk of fragmentation and keeping the bullet intact through bone or heavy muscle.

How many bullets are in a box?

Each box contains 50 Swift A-Frame .357 180-grain bullets.

Are these suitable for handgun hunting?

Yes. The 180-grain weight, controlled expansion, and deep penetration characteristics make these bullets well-suited for handgun hunting applications where reliable terminal performance is essential. Use them with appropriate .357 Magnum or .38 Special loads for your specific hunting scenario.
