Mat, their site is under construction. A-Frames are great bullets.

I was on the phone w/ Swift about 3 weeks ago trying to get data from them. They informed me they should have a manual out in late March or April. They offered a phone # for someone who loads some for them. I didn't pursue it but it may be worth a shot. I think their is a phone # for Swift on the web site even though it is under construction. "swiftbulletcompany.com"

Matt,

Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but here is some Swift Aframe data from the PointBlank Ballistics SW package ( Hunting Nut ).

I dont have the data for the nylon tipped bullet (the name of which escapes me).

Take Care,

-Steve

Steve,

It's called the Scirocco.

Matt,

The A-Frames are GREAT hunting bullets. I have used them on all four of my safaris, and have NEVER had them fail.

Anybody know what the BC's are for the .308cal 165 and 180 Scirocco's?

I just found out that on the www.MidwayUsa.com website, they list the BC's for the specific bullets that they carry. If you click on "view tech. info" when you are looking at a specific bullet, then it will list the BC. The 165 Scirocco was listed as having a BC of 0.428.
