@CoElkHunter would probably be interested in these...

Hmmm.... Never heard of a 217gr. bullet?

I got them from @Terry Blauwkamp, if I remember right he said they were made for the European market, those are his load numbers on the box

I’ll take these. I’ll PM you.

I think the 217 gr bullets are just immature 225 gr bullets. Given them another year or so and they will likely grow to become 225s.

And the Swift 213gr. for the Australian market? LOL

I have a few 217s that someone on this forum sent me a few years ago to try out. My 338-06 AI seemed to like them pretty well and Swifts did great work for me in Africa this past summer. I’ll put them to good use.

thanks

I recall the 217 grain 338 A-Frames being made about 15 years ago. I talked with Swift about them- a die was out of adjustment so the run ended up missing the weight so they were sold as seconds- other than not being 225 gr there is nothing wrong with them. Seems like I bought about 500 of them and they worked well.
