Swift A-Frame Rifle Bullets .338 Cal .338" 225 Gr 50/Ct
$87.11
The Swift A-Frame .338 caliber rifle bullet represents two and a half decades of bonded bullet engineering designed for hunters who demand deep penetration and reliable expansion on game of any size. Built with a 225-grain mass in a .338" diameter, these bullets combine a semi-spitzer nose profile with a progressively tapered jacket to perform consistently across a wide range of hunting velocities—whether you're shooting a .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua Magnum, or similar cartridge. Each box contains 50 rounds of ammunition-grade components ready for your reloading press.
What sets the A-Frame apart is its controlled expansion design: the proprietary cross-member positioned within the bullet is engineered to govern mushrooming predictably for each caliber, while a pure lead core bonded to a pure copper jacket ensures weight retention and penetration depth essential for larger game. The tapered jacket and protected rear core work together to lock in the bullet's mass—you're looking at 95%+ weight retention—so the bullet drives deep rather than fragmenting or shedding material prematurely. That reliability across distances and game sizes is why A-Frame bullets have earned their reputation among serious handloaders.
Whether you're building match rounds for a precision rifle, hunting loads for elk and larger game at distance, or developing ammunition for long-range field shooting, these .338 225-grain projectiles offer the terminal performance and consistency that justifies careful load development. Reloaders who value proven bonded-bullet performance and deep, controlled expansion will find these well-suited to their needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What .338 rifle cartridges work with these 225-grain A-Frame bullets?
These .338" diameter, 225-grain bullets are designed for standard .338 rifle cartridges. Specific cartridge compatibility depends on your rifle's twist rate, magazine length, and chamber specifications. Always consult loading manuals and rifle documentation before finalizing your load, and work up loads carefully to verify accuracy and function in your particular firearm.
Are Swift A-Frame bullets suitable for hunting large game?
Yes. The A-Frame's reputation is built on reliable deep penetration and controlled expansion, making it a choice for hunters pursuing larger game worldwide. The 95%+ weight retention and bonded construction are specifically engineered to maintain momentum and expand predictably on impact.
Can I use these bullets for long-range hunting?
A-Frame bullets are designed to perform across a wide range of velocities, which supports their use in long-range hunting applications. However, your success depends on proper load development, rifle accuracy, shot placement, and understanding bullet drop and wind drift at your intended distance. Always practice and verify your load before hunting.
