Federal Swift A-Frame .460 S&W Magnum 300gr is the heaviest of the three Federal .460 S&W Magnum loads we carry (Federal part no. P460SA). Federal publishes 1750 fps and 2040 ft-lbs from an 8.4-inch test barrel. The A-Frame design resists expansion past a point, keeping the back half intact for deep penetration while the bonded front half expands. It is a handgun hunting load for big, tough animals.
