Swift A-Frame Rifle Bullets 8Mm .323" 220 Gr Afss 50/Ct
Swift A-Frame rifle bullets in 8mm .323" 220-grain are premium bonded projectiles engineered for hunters who demand reliable, deep-penetrating performance on medium to large game. Built on 25 years of proven design, the A-Frame delivers controlled expansion and exceptional weight retention—two traits that separate quality reloading components from the rest. Whether you're hand-loading for European roe or North American elk, these bullets are built to perform across a wide range of hunting scenarios and velocities.
The A-Frame's design centers on a cross-member positioned to optimize expansion diameter for the 8mm caliber, ensuring a controlled 2.2x expansion that penetrates deep without over-fragmenting. The pure lead core is bonded to a pure copper jacket using Swift's proprietary process, creating a monolithic construction that locks the core in place. This means 95%+ weight retention on impact—critical when you need a bullet to drive through heavy bone and tissue without shedding fragments that compromise penetration.
A semi-spitzer nose profile resists deformation from magazine impact and recoil, and the progressively tapered jacket controls the rate of expansion even when velocity varies significantly between loads or shooting distances. The thick jacket and protected rear core work together to maintain momentum through the vitals, making these bullets predictable performers in the field. For reloaders focused on hand-crafting ammunition that performs consistently, the A-Frame is a trusted choice backed by real-world hunting success.
