Northfork VS Swift?

[Mountaineer]

Neither bullet does us any good if you can’t get them.

 

[Jonathan Kashouty]

Swift, NF, and/or Barnes TSX are all great choices and will perform well on any game animal.

Swiftbullets.com has a wait list that has service me well in keeping everything stocked.

How does one get on the waitlist? I’ve never seen it or heard about it when talking to them.

Closest I’ve seen is the email notification when they come n stock.

Click on the bullets (Quick view).

At that point, they will offer to take your email address for that bullet and will contact you when they (Swift) have them in inventory.

When you get the email act quickly if you want to get some before the inventory is depleted!

Yeah I’ve done that I don’t really view that as a waitlist. I thought you meant something where you get first opportunity of pre-pay like a back order.

I see it as a waitlist for when they are in inventory.

Always, within 12 months I've been able to order what I'd like to add to my inventory.

Swift Afram = anxiety
NF & Barnes = satisfaction
I’m a simpleton and like getting stuff done , waiting on swift has put a bitter taste in my reloading mouth, Barnes is available 99% of the time

NF, what calibers are you seeing available here in the U.S.? I’ve been searching for 500-grain SS for over a year—maybe closer to two—and only recently got lucky by picking some up from a fellow forum member. Same for AF 500 grains. Woodleigh RNSN, I have almost given up -unfortunately.

Swift A-frames work great; The bullets I recovered from my Sable look just like ftrovato's post above. North Fork is built and performs the same way. Pick your poison; both are great.

The other day, I got a notification and only twenty minutes later, they were out of stock. A day or two later I checked again and were in stock, so I placed an order. They’ve been shipped.

Yeah I got some 375 when they were in stock. Luckily I wasn’t in a meeting or on a plane.

Still waiting for some .410 to come available.

NF’s have never given me a failure …here are some recovered from buff and maybe 1 from a roan

 

[Andrew62]

I don't see any real world difference between the 2, figure out which your rifle shoots best and go hunting! That's if you can find both bullets to begin with!

Cant argue with those results!

Of course I'm assuming you were not digging those bullets out of live buffalo. ;-)

This is about where I am on the subject. The real issue for both is really availability.
