[QUOTE="jmden, post: 33187, member: 1742"] Hi, I used 200g Swift A-frames in my 300 RUM (93.5 grains Re25--I know your asking about the 338 WinMag, but thought I'd mention) last year on my elk. 237 yd low neck spinal shot with a MV of 3100fps. Spine at the very base of the neck was completely gone pulverized and I couldn't even find any bullet fragments. Never found the bullet. Hit the ground somewhere. Apparently, they hold together quite well... My complaints are that they are quite expensive and for the price, don't have the bullet to bullet uniformity that I would expect. Swift says they are only a hunting bullet, not a comp bullet. Granted. But for that price I would expect more uniformity. I'm going to work up a load with the 200 grain Nosler Accubond and play around with H50BMG powder this year. I think that bullet will perform more than adequately on elk and the higher BC will help a bit at the longer ranges as well. I'm sure you'll be quite happy with what a 338 Swift A-frame does to elk.
