10mm A-Frame 200gr HP

[GM54-120]

Never saw a 40cal 200gr A-Frame before. Plus the core is bonded to the jacket. I wonder how much weight is retained in a test like Rons? You can order them direct also for less but im not sure about shipping prices.

GM,
You think a smoker could move it fast enough? Maybe with a heavy charge. I thinking with the other powder,

 

[GM54-120]

Its made for 10mm AUTO and that is only able to do about 1200fps with a 200gr bullet plus i bet its long for a 200gr bullet. So case capacity would be less. Im guessing its a good match for a smoker if they will shoot.

Thats gunna be a nasty lil bullet if it retains 90% of its weight at a 2000fps impact. Not a long range bullet but looks good for within 150-200yards. The A-Frame is pretty much just like a Nosler Partition but its bonded. Not that it matters because there is not much lead in the HP.

Swift says they start expansion at 850fps. I would like like to see a test of them.

Compare the Swift to the old Partition. Ron did the 300s. Just look at the difference. Imagine a 200gr 40cal performing like that...NASTY!!!

Swift also offers it in a 180gr HP.

Shipping from Swift to me here in VA is 18 bucks, bringing it to $79.

No tax though.

Both the 180s and 200s

Hey guys, I'm Jamie. New here and saw this and wanted to report. I used this bullet this year out of my Woodman patriot 45, in a smooth blue harvester. Shooting light smokeless loads, with the bushing breech plug, I was able to get great accuracy and 2219 fps. I took a 176 lb field dressed deer at 19 yards, slightly quartering to. Broke 3 ribs in and to ribs out. Nice entry and exit and great Internal damage. Deer dropped in its tracks. If you know the drops, it would perform well at really long distance

If it's a swift it's gonna perform and maintain weight retention for sure !

Not sure on how to do much on here yet, or how to get a hold of people, but if Ron wanted some to test, I would gladly send enough for both 80 and 50 grain tests

For establishing aim a minimum of two bullet is needed; one bullet for shooting into the bottles. Six bullets for two attempted captures. Eight bullets would allow three bullets for establishing aim, which is more better.

PM with address sent.

I used to use .44 300-grainers in my .50 quick twist flinter over 80 grains of Swiss 3-F. Never found a deer that could stop one.

I'm curious to know what kind of velocity can be generated using the Ultra-lite and Blackhorn with that bullet. I'm tempted to try those out. If they group well, it would make an interesting whitetail load.

I tried some 200 grain, .40 XTPs at the club one morning while a guy was there with his chrono. I was loading 77 weighed grains of 209. Accuracy left a bit to be desired but then I only had vials of that charge weight with me. If memory serves me right I was getting in the neighborhood of 2250 in the Accura V2. Like I said, accuracy did little to impress me so I never took the issue with the 200 grain bullets up again.

 

[LBAhunter]

Can't wait to see how these do in Ron's test. I'm guessing they will do well.

[LBAhunter]

I thinking atleast 3 jugs with 80gr (v) of BH209

 

[Jamie Mayfield]

They are on their way

[GM54-120]

Thank you Jamie. It sure looks like a good bullet for guys that dont need a long range option but want a bullet that cant fail.
