CA...I have a box of 400gr Swift A-frames and a box of Speer AGS solids. If you're interested...the Swifts are $90 plus shipping. Speer AGS solids are $125 plus shipping. I had a lot of success shooting buffalo with Swift bullets, and Speer AGS bullets. Sad to say, my African hunting days are but memories, (twenty-four trips in thirty years) so I won't be requiring any further use of these bullets.

As an aside... I've also shot several buffalo with Jack Carter's original Trophy Bonded Bear Claw, and Sledge Hammer solids. The first buffalo I shot in Zim was in a mealie field chewing his cud. The conditions were such, we got within 20yds of him before he realized he had company. He slowly turned his head, saw us, and jumped to his feet and turned to face us. I shot him in the chest with the Bear Claw, and he took the hit, stumbled, turned 90 degrees to my right, and I shot him again in the shoulder with a Sledge Hammer. That was that. The solid went thru, and the soft was found in the hip next to the bone. A picture perfect mushroom. Those bullets behaved as advertised. My rifle: M-70 .416 Taylor. I only shot 400gr bullets, and I settled on 2350fps as the best (in my rifle) for accuracy with both soft/solid.
Tsibindi, I really appreciate that offer. That’s very kind of you. However, a charge from Swift Bullets hit my credit card yesterday. I had a couple boxes of A-frames on back order and I guess Swift has finally shipped them. I went from not many bullets a couple weeks ago to now having more bullets to test for groups than I know what to do with. In addition to a box of 350 gr TTSX, I’ve got boxes of 400 grain in Swift A-frames, Cutting Edge Raptors, Nosler Partitions & Trophy Bonded Bearclaws. The only ones missing are TSX, which I’m supposed to get in April. In solids I’ve got Trophy Bonded, Cutting Edge and Woodleighs. I do appreciate your offer though.
Good thing I have 6 pounds of Reloader 15.
