Swift A-Frame Rifle Bullets .270 Cal .277" 150 Gr Afss 50/Ct

The Swift A-Frame .270 caliber rifle bullet is a purpose-built projectile for hunters who demand reliable expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game. With a 150-grain weight and .277" diameter, these bullets are engineered around Swift's proven A-Frame construction—a design philosophy that prioritizes weight retention and controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. Whether you're handloading for a .270 Winchester, .270 WSM, or similar cartridge, the A-Frame's architecture is built to deliver consistent performance in the field.

What sets the A-Frame apart is its unconventional jacket-and-core design. The bullet features a soft, semi-Spitzer lead nose that's protected from damage during magazine storage and feeding, while the pure copper jacket tapers toward the tip to regulate expansion predictably—whether you're shooting at close range or extended distance. The tapered core at the bullet's base ensures the penetration and momentum needed to reach vitals on tough game. The wraparound jacket base is the real secret: it contains the core, retains the bullet's original weight through impact, and prevents deformation that would otherwise rob you of terminal performance.

Swift bullets have earned respect among serious handloaders for decades. The A-Frame line represents the company's commitment to bullets that perform the same way whether they're moving at 2400 fps or 3200 fps—a real advantage when you're loading for different rifle setups or hunting at varying elevations and distances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles will these bullets work in?

The .270 caliber, .277" diameter is the standard for .270 Winchester, .270 WSM, and other .270-based cartridges. Confirm your specific rifle's bore diameter before loading.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting?

Yes. The A-Frame design is purpose-built for hunting scenarios where reliable expansion and weight retention on game are critical. The controlled expansion across velocity ranges makes it versatile for different shooting distances and game sizes.

What does the 50-count box mean?

This box contains 50 individual bullets—a standard quantity for handloaders. You can load multiple cartridges or stock up for multiple hunting seasons.

How does the A-Frame design compare to other hunting bullets?

The A-Frame prioritizes weight retention and penetration through its tapered core, wraparound jacket base, and controlled expansion geometry. The tapered copper jacket is specifically engineered to expand predictably regardless of impact velocity, which is an advantage in real-world hunting situations where distance and game angle vary.
