Anyone try AFrames on Ontario moose?

[John Y Cannuck]

At least I think they are AFrames. Look like a partition except much heavier partition, and less lead, no crimp groove, and molly coated.


Repackaged stuff out of midway in the US. Got them on a CGN bullet deal.
338 250gr.

Anyway, I've taken Ontario moose with much lesser bullets. Has anyone actually used these on an Ontario Moose?

They don't look like a current A frame to me either, but might be either an earlier model, or someone else's effort. Anyone recognize it? I've seen it somewhere.

I shot a bull in the centre frontal chest and the bullet exited right beside his bum hole. Dead very fast. Range was 65 yards and the bullet was a 140 grain A frame from a 6.5 Swede Tikka. Excellent performance but did not recover the bullet. The bullet penetrated through his paunch which was full of birch browse while transiting through the animal. No major bone was encountered.

Jacket looks pretty beefy, might not expand a lot past 250Y

My buddy shot a bull with factory loaded 180gr 300rum thru both front shoulders at 40 yards broadside. Picture perfect mushroomed bullet against the hide on far side. Moose died on its feet. Said it took 15 or so seconds to fall over sideways

As you probably gathered, my concern is that the bullet may be a tad too tough. The posts so far are also leading me in that direction. I have several other less formidable choices.
The other thing is that I understand Midway sometimes sells factory seconds. No indication that these are seconds, they shoot quite well. But I wouldn't knowingly take a 'second' on a hunt of any description.

I think you cant really go wrong with Aframes. Especially when youre spitting them fast

I believe those are combined technology partition gold bullets. I tested the 250gr 338 version in the bullet test I posted in the hunting forum.

I shot a cow last December with a hundred 80 grain soft point Weber Winchester uses I pulled a boat and put it in a hand load and it took her down on the first shot she broke her leg when she spun to try to get away and I hit her again twice got her double lung twice

It does share some design elements with that bullet, but, it's molly coated, does not have the black oxide finish of Winchester's version of the combined tech bullet. It may indeed be that bullet, just pulled from the line before the oxide coating and molly coated.
I have some partition gold, i will compare.

I just sectioned a Nosler partition gold. It's identical inside, only the coating is different. Noslers molycoat is smooth, and handle-able. Midway's is rough and dirty. Fingers are blackened in handling.
You got it! Thanks!

These are all recovered from Ontario Bull Moose taken from 250 - 450 yards away in WMU 1C. All of the closer shots were through and through and none of the moose made it further than about 10 yards from where they were shot.

A-Frames are reliably consistent from my experience.
