Sorry can't say for the 7mm, but excellent in my .338 Win. They are as accurate as Nosler's and hit within a inch of each other at 100 yards. So I use the Nosler's for working up loads then finish with the Swift's.

Good Luck - Woody

I developed (but never used in the field) a load with the 175gr a frame in my 7x57. 2,475fps and about .75" for 3 shots repeated twice. The bullet does foul more than conventional jacketed bullets so barrel cleaning is important.

I shot 160gr A frames in my 280 and experienced similar accuracy as partition bullets. Generally running around 2800fps. Right now I am leaning back towards Nosler partitions because they just plain shoot through game and A frames sometimes fail to give complete penetration due to wider expansion. Probably no real world difference on deer sized game just my perception. Accuracy is generally a consistent 1.2" group.

I get about 2 MOA in my .458 with A-frames. I'll bet they're doing better than I am though. Benching a big bore just isn't fun.
