Federal Premium Safari Cape-Shok .416 Rigby rifle ammunition (brand part no. P416SA) loads a 400-grain Swift A-Frame bullet, a partitioned-style design built for hunters who want both controlled expansion and deep penetration from a single bullet on dangerous game. The Swift A-Frame’s bonded front core and progressively tapered jacket produce controlled expansion and energy release on impact, while the design stops that expansion at its optimum point and maintains a longer rear shank for continued, deep penetration. That combination gives a first, often broadside, shot the damage of an expanding bullet with penetration closer to a solid. For hunters preparing for a genuine dangerous-game safari, this rifle ammunition from Federal is purpose-built for the task.
