Why Choose Federal Premium Swift A-Frame for Your 460 S&W Mag?

Choosing the right ammunition for big game hunting, especially for dangerous game, is a critical decision that directly impacts success, safety, and ethical hunting practices. The Federal Premium Swift A-Frame answers the call with a blend of time-tested design and Federal's renowned manufacturing excellence.

Here’s what sets this premium ammunition apart:

• Exceptional Bullet Construction: The Swift A-Frame Advantage. At the heart of this cartridge is the legendary Swift A-Frame bullet. Unlike many conventional bullets, the A-Frame is designed with a unique partition that separates the front and rear cores. This innovative design ensures controlled expansion of the front portion while retaining the vast majority of the bullet's weight in the rear. This dual-core integrity translates directly to:
  • Deep Penetration: The heavy, bonded rear core drives deep into vital organs, even through thick hides and heavy bone, ensuring maximum energy transfer where it counts.
  • Controlled Expansion: The soft lead front section expands reliably upon impact, creating a wide wound channel for rapid incapacitation, but stops expanding at the partition, preventing over-expansion and ensuring adequate penetration. This balance is crucial for achieving quick, humane kills on large animals.
  • High Weight Retention: Expect superior weight retention, often 90% or more, even after impacting tough hide and bone. This means more of the bullet’s original mass continues to drive forward, delivering kinetic energy effectively throughout the animal’s body.
• Precision-Engineered Components for Unwavering Performance: Federal Premium ammunition is synonymous with quality, and every component of the 460 S&W Mag Swift A-Frame cartridge reflects this commitment.
  • Finest Primers: Each round begins with Federal's highest-quality primers. These primers undergo rigorous, frequent inspections for dimensional tolerances and precise charge weight. This meticulous attention to detail ensures consistent, reliable ignition shot after shot, critical for predictable performance in the field.
  • Specially Formulated Propellants: The clean-burning powders used in Federal Premium loads are specifically formulated to meet Federal's stringent specifications. These are not just any powders; they are among the highest grades in the industry, contributing to consistent muzzle velocities, minimal fouling, and reliable cycling. Clean burning means less residue in your firearm, simplifying maintenance and preserving accuracy over time.
  • Nickel-Plated Brass Casings: The use of nickel-plated brass casings offers several distinct advantages. Nickel plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, which is especially beneficial in harsh outdoor environments, extending the shelf life of the ammunition. It also facilitates smoother feeding and extraction from the firearm, reducing the chance of malfunctions when you need flawless performance most. The bright nickel finish also makes it easier to spot your spent casings if you choose to retrieve them for reloading, though these cases are designed for premium performance, not necessarily multiple reloads.
• Optimized Ballistics for the 460 S&W Magnum: With a 300-grain Swift A-Frame bullet propelled at an impressive muzzle velocity of 1750 feet per second (fps), this ammunition generates a formidable 2040 foot-pounds (ft-lbs) of muzzle energy. This ballistic profile provides the flat trajectory and immense power necessary to humanely dispatch large game at common handgun hunting distances. The combination of speed and bullet weight ensures that this round carries significant knockdown power, making it an excellent choice for species like elk, moose, brown bears, and even dangerous African plains game if circumstances call for it.
