Having used A-Frames almost exclusively for the past 5 years--I disagree that it is too fast--I shot close to 60 African plains game using 180 gr A-Frames--or 400Gr A-Frames---with no problems what so ever--I am pushing the 180's out of a ultra-mag at 3400 fps--the 400's are factory and hand loads at 2450 to 2500 fps-shot everything from duiker to Cape Buffalo with Eland and Zebra in between..

Not sure what is going on with your 2 situations--I would call Swift and talk to the owner--they are very helpful and I am sure they would be interested in your problems.

As to the warthog--I shot one with my .416 at about 100 yards facing me--he turned and ran after the shot--didn't go far but the bullet was found under his left cheek--so it traveled from stem to stern--bullet mushroomed perfectly and retained about 96% of its original weight..

thx
