Recovered 375 A-Frames

[Vintageguy]

These are 2 recovered A-Frames.
The one on the left from a Zebra 298grains.
The one on the right a Buffalo, a bang flop 292grains.
I’m a Swift A-Frame fan after the performance they gave me. The jacket thickness is perfect and seems to expand appropriately for the amount of resistance it encounters.

Eland 168 yards, MV 2582, retained weight 297.34 GRs.

Some had started a while back a bullet performance page. You should check that one out too.

I believe the good lord himself loves the Swift A-Frame!

My PH while on Safari (Marius w/KMG Hunting Safaris) swears by them. His favorite softs... without question. I've used them for years in several calibers. I have a 500 Nitro Express, Ruger #1 and a 570gr A-Frame is serious medicine!

Thanks for sharing your recovered bullets. What is the bullet performance page?

Bullet Performance Database

May I suggest a bullet performance data base topic, where members can place pictures of recovered bullets. You need to add data to the post relating to the performance. Type of bullet Bullet speed Distance of shot Original weight Recovered weight Calibre Species Shot placement e.g. Frontal...

Anyone have any experience with the scirocco?

 

[Challer]

No, but the solids are a ballistic match and perform very well.

Any idea who (business) may have A-Frames?

That is why we recommend them.....

Have you checked their website? The last time they had quite a few depending on the caliber and weight you want. Otherwise midway has some in stock too depending on caliber.

I have not checked their web site, and I’m looking for 375 cal bullets. Thanks

Swift only has 250s in 375 on hand.

A Swift 300g A-Frame from Factory 375 H&H ammo (Rem Premier Safari Grade) from a brown bear hit at 13 yards. Penetrated him diagonally, still weighs 299.5 grains. They are great bullets!

All shots were at 100 yards or more and recovered after traveling through at least one of the two shoulder of each animal.

Yes, I’ve shot quite a few animals with them. The first ones were absolute shit! Only because it was Swift and the 2nd version was given to me did I try them. They perform well and are very accurate. My go to bullet in 300 RUM. You will get no where the weight retention of an A-Frame of course but from my experience they hold together well and they are killers!

It would be useful to know caliber, muzzle velocity, and approximate distance to the target.
