Swift A-Frame rifle bullets in .404 caliber are built for hunters pursuing dangerous game and long-range shooters who demand consistent, controlled expansion and deep penetration. The .423" diameter 400-grain load is engineered around a foundational principle: controlled performance across a wide velocity range, from close-range stops to extended shots where velocity drops.
The A-Frame design centers on a dual-core construction with a soft lead nose that tapers toward the base of the core. This geometry does two critical things: it regulates how quickly and how much the bullet opens on impact, regardless of whether you're running magnum velocity or subsonic loads, and it ensures the bullet maintains its shape and trajectory integrity in the magazine under recoil. The jacket itself is pure copper—not plated steel or composite—and it wraps completely around the base of the core. That wraparound construction is where the A-Frame earns its reputation for weight retention; you recover the majority of the original mass after impact, which means deeper, more predictable wound channels and better performance on heavy-bodied game where blood shot meat matters as much as a clean kill.
Each box contains 50 bullets, so you can load a full season's worth or run controlled testing to dial in your load. If you're handloading for a .404 Jeffery, .404 Rimless Nitro Express, or another large-bore cartridge that pushes heavy, tough projectiles, the A-Frame delivers the kind of on-target reliability that separates hunters from shooters.
| Caliber | .404 |
| Diameter | .423" |
| Weight | 400 grains |
| Quantity | 50 per box |
| Bullet Type | A-Frame (Semi-Spitzer) |
| Jacket Material | Pure Copper |
The .404 diameter is typical of large-bore rifles such as the .404 Jeffery and .404 Rimless Nitro Express. Always verify your specific cartridge and rifle specifications before loading; work from published load data for your exact round.
The tapered core at the nose slows and regulates the rate at which the soft lead compresses and the copper jacket opens. This means expansion is more consistent whether you're shooting at close range with hot loads or at longer distances where velocity has dropped, resulting in more predictable wound performance across hunting scenarios.
The wraparound copper jacket at the base prevents the core and jacket from separating during expansion. This design retains the majority of the original 400-grain weight, which translates to deeper penetration and more reliable performance on heavy game.
These are component bullets sold unloaded in bulk. You will need to handload them into cartridge cases using reloading equipment, dies, and published load data for your specific rifle and ammunition.
