Think of the dreaming, saving and planning that rests on one pulse-racing look through the crosshairs. Making once-in-a-lifetime shots means making no compromises. And no compromises means award-winning Premier Safari Grade. Loaded with the Swift A-Frame bullet, they reliably expand at long-range decreased velocities, yet do not over-expand at short-range high velocities. Mushroom to a devastating 2x caliber diameter with virtually 100% weight retention. The best choice from Alaska to Africa and everywhere in between.
The Swift A-Frame dual-core bullet has a lead core bonded to the tapered pure copper jacket. All Safari Grade components receive multiple inspections: primers are pre-inspected five times for ignition reliability; each round is receiver-gauged, and cases are nickel-plated for precision feeding and extraction. You can't buy better factory-loaded medium- to big-game ammunition.
The combination of Swift's A-Frame construction and proprietary bonding process produces extremely uniform, controlled expansion to 2x caliber.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 338 Winchester Magnum was introduced in 1958 in a version of the Winchester Model 70 called the "Alaskan." A companion introduction with the 264 Winchester Magnum (in the Model 70 "Westerner"), the 338 Winchester Magnum is based on the 458 Winchester Magnum necked down to take a .338-inch bullet. Case length is 2.5 inches, making it suitable for 30-06-length actions. Acceptance was initially slow, perhaps because of recoil and certainly because, above 30-caliber, all American cartridge sales drop off. Over time it has achieved its proper place as one of the best of all elk cartridges, adequate for the largest bears, and yet flat-shooting enough for use on smaller game if desired. It is an exceptionally good choice for the full run of African plains game. Standard velocities are a 200-grain bullet at 2960 feet per second; 225-grain bullet at 2780; and 250-grain bullet at 2660. Both rifles and ammunition are offered by most major manufacturers.
