Swift A-Frame Rifle Bullets .338 Cal .338" 250 Gr
Swift A-Frame rifle bullets in .338 caliber offer the kind of reliable, deep-penetrating performance that serious hunters have counted on for over two decades. The 250-grain .338" bullet is engineered for controlled expansion across a wide range of hunting velocities, delivering the combination of penetration and weight retention that matters when you're committed to a shot on big game. Whether you're hand-loading for a .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua, or another .338 platform, the A-Frame design has earned its reputation through consistent results in the field across diverse game and conditions.
The A-Frame's core strength lies in its bonded construction and internal geometry. A progressive taper controls how fast the bullet expands, preventing explosive failure at magnum velocities or penciling through at longer ranges. The proprietary bonding process locks a pure lead core to a pure copper jacket, and a reinforced rear core is mechanically locked to prevent separation—features that combine to consistently deliver 95%+ weight retention and 2.2x expansion ratios. The semi-spitzer nose profile is built tough enough to survive magazine and feed system contact without deformation, a practical detail that matters for reliable reloading and shooting.
The A-Frame Cross member—positioned specifically for the .338 caliber—optimizes the expansion diameter and timing for the velocity envelope you'll encounter in realistic hunting scenarios. This isn't a one-speed bullet; it's designed to perform whether you're pushing it hard from a magnum or moderating velocity for a closer shot. For reloaders committed to precision ammunition and hunters who understand that shot placement starts with a bullet built to perform, the Swift A-Frame is a proven choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What .338 rifles are these bullets compatible with?
Swift A-Frame .338 caliber bullets are designed for .338-diameter rifle barrels, including common cartridges like the .338 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum. Confirm bullet diameter and weight are appropriate for your specific rifle and load data before reloading.
Will these bullets hold together on large game?
Yes. The bonded construction, locked rear core, and progressive taper are specifically designed to prevent separation and deliver 95%+ weight retention while expanding reliably. The A-Frame has been the field-proven choice for hunters pursuing large game worldwide for over 25 years.
Do these bullets work at long range and close range?
The progressive taper and A-Frame Cross member are engineered to control expansion across a wide velocity range, meaning the bullet will perform whether you're shooting at extended distances or shorter ranges—as long as you're within the velocity envelope for your specific cartridge and load.
