Swift A-Frame Revolver Bullets .44 Cal .429" 280 Gr Afhp 50/Ct

Swift A-Frame revolver bullets in .44 caliber deliver the kind of controlled performance that separates quality handloads from factory rounds. Sized at .429" and weighing 280 grains, these AFHP (armor-piercing hollow point) projectiles are engineered for shooters who demand both expansion and penetration in a single platform—no compromise between the two. Whether you're loading for hunting, defense, or precision revolver work, the A-Frame design gives you the stopping power and consistency that serious .44 shooters expect.

The genius of the A-Frame lies in its construction philosophy: a dual-core system with a bonded copper jacket that keeps the bullet together when it matters. The soft-point front initiates controlled expansion on impact, while the hardened rear core resists deformation to maintain mass and drive through barriers. This isn't theoretical—Swift's bonding process ensures the core stays attached to the jacket, which translates to weight retention up to 95 percent. That mass retention means deeper penetration and more consistent terminal performance across a range of velocities and barriers.

Handloaders appreciate the A-Frame for its consistency. The dimensional uniformity and balanced design help reduce shot-to-shot variation, which compounds into tighter groups and more predictable ballistics when you're dialing in loads. Each 50-count box gives you enough rounds to develop a solid load and have ammunition ready for the field or range.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What revolver calibers and handguns are these bullets designed for?

These are .44 caliber bullets (.429" diameter) engineered for revolvers chambered in .44 Magnum, .44 Special, and other .44 platforms. Always verify your firearm's specifications and manual before loading.

How much penetration can I expect compared to standard soft-point .44 ammunition?

The A-Frame design is built for deep penetration paired with controlled expansion. The hardened rear core and bonded jacket retain up to 95% of the bullet's original weight, which drives penetration while the soft-point front initiates expansion. Performance will vary with velocity, barrel length, and what the bullet encounters downrange.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting with a .44 revolver?

Swift A-Frame bullets are designed for controlled expansion and deep penetration, making them appropriate for handloaders pursuing hunting loads. However, always consult published load data for your specific firearm and powder combination, and test thoroughly at the range before field use.

What's included in a 50-count box?

Each box contains 50 individually manufactured .44 caliber, 280-grain A-Frame bullets ready for your reloading press.
