The Swift High Grade 7mm Remington Magnum 160 grain A-Frame bonded round nose is purpose-built for big game hunting where penetration and controlled expansion define success. With 2899 fps muzzle velocity and 2986 ft-lbs energy from a 24-inch test barrel, this load delivers flat trajectory and deep penetration on elk, moose, and heavy African plains game. The Swift A-Frame is a premium bonded bullet featuring a dual-core construction — the front core initiates controlled expansion on impact while the bonded rear core drives through heavy bone and muscle. Each round is hand-inspected, individually chambered to confirm proper fit, and sealed with HERNON water-tight compound for protection against moisture and contamination during extended hunts.
Performance at a Glance
Swift employs match-grade brass that meets or exceeds SAAMI dimensional tolerances, paired with non-corrosive Boxer primers for consistent ignition across temperature extremes. The bonded round nose profile — sectional density 0.283, G1 ballistic coefficient 0.45 — offers a blend of penetration and frontal area ideal for quartering shots and heavy muscle cover. Brass cases are reloadable, allowing handloaders to tailor charge weights and bullet seating depth to specific rifle chambers.

This load sits in the middle of the 7mm Rem Mag ammo weight spectrum — heavy enough for controlled expansion on large ungulates, light enough to maintain velocity past 300 yards. The bonded construction prevents core-jacket separation, ensuring the bullet tracks straight through heavy bone.
