Swift High Grade 30-06 Springfield 180 grain ammunition pairs the legendary A-Frame bonded bullet with meticulous factory assembly — each case sized to chamber tolerance, each round water-tight sealed, brass meeting or exceeding SAAMI spec. The 30-06 Springfield remains the benchmark American hunting cartridge, chambered in more bolt-action rifles than any other centerfire round, and the 180-grain weight balances trajectory with terminal performance on elk, moose, black bear, and heavy whitetail across open terrain and timber alike.
Built for the Box
Swift manufactures this line with individual inspection and Hernon water-tight sealing — insurance against moisture ingress during mountain hunts or wet-weather stalks. The Swift A-Frame bonded core design locks jacket to lead with a mechanical bond, resisting separation on heavy bone impacts. The front half of the bullet mushrooms for rapid energy transfer; the solid rear shank drives forward for deep penetration, a dual-performance profile engineered for quartering shots and shoulder strikes where cup-and-core bullets fragment.

This load ships as DOT-regulated hazmat. Expect 2710 fps from a 24-inch barrel — standard sporting rifle length for bolt-action 30-06 platforms. The round nose profile trades some downrange BC for reliable feeding in control-round-feed actions and reduced meat damage on broadside lung shots. Brass cases accept standard large rifle primers for handloaders who want to replicate Swift’s formula with A-Frame component bullets.
