Federal Premium Cape-Shok 9.3x74R 286gr Swift A-Frame ammunition (brand part no. P9374SA) loads a bonded-core bullet into one of Europe’s classic dangerous-game cartridges, built for hunters taking double rifles and drillings to Africa or heavy game country anywhere else. Federal Ammunition names the Cape-Shok line after Cape buffalo country, and the Swift A-Frame bullet backs that reputation with a front core bonded to its jacket and a solid rear shank, controlling expansion while retaining weight for penetration through heavy muscle and bone. Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion in humid climates and extract smoothly from the rimmed cases that double rifles and drillings depend on. Dangerous-game hunters who need a bullet that will not come apart on the shoulder of a buffalo trust this 9.3x74R load.
