Swift A-Frame Revolver Bullets .45 Cal .452" 325 Gr Afhp 50/Ct
Swift A-Frame revolver bullets in .45 caliber deliver the controlled expansion and deep penetration you need for reliable handgun hunting and defense loads. Built on Swift's proven A-Frame design, these .452" 325-grain hollow points combine soft-point initiation with a protected rear core—giving you expansion that opens reliably while retaining up to 95 percent of bullet weight for pass-through performance on game-sized targets.
The genius of the A-Frame lies in its dual-core construction: a lead core with a soft point at the front drives controlled expansion, while a bonded core at the rear resists deformation and maintains structural integrity through heavy bone or dense tissue. The cross-member copper jacket ties it all together, ensuring consistent accuracy shot to shot and load to load. Whether you're handloading for hunting, hunting with a large-bore revolver, or developing defensive ammunition, these bullets give you the terminal performance that separates good loads from ones you can actually trust.
Sold in 50-count boxes, Swift A-Frame .45 Cal revolver bullets are a serious choice for reloaders who refuse to compromise between expansion and penetration. If you're building ammunition for your .45 Colt, .45 ACP, or other .45-caliber cartridge, these are worth the space in your loading manual.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Swift A-Frame and standard hollow point revolver bullets?
The A-Frame uses a bonded dual-core design: the front lead core initiates controlled expansion, while the rear bonded core resists fragmentation and maintains bullet weight. This gives you both reliable opening and deep penetration—standard hollow points often struggle with one or the other, especially at revolver velocities.
Are these bullets suitable for .45 Colt hunting loads?
Yes. At 325 grains, these are sized for .45-caliber handgun cartridges including .45 Colt, .45 ACP, and similar cases. They're designed for hunting applications where controlled expansion and reliable penetration matter.
What's included in a box?
Each box contains 50 bullets. You'll need to source your own brass, powder, and primers for reloading.
Will these work in my revolver or semi-auto pistol?
These are .452" diameter bullets for .45-caliber firearms. Confirm your gun's bore diameter (.452" for standard .45 ACP and .45 Colt) before loading. Always consult load data and work up safely when developing new ammunition.
