Push effective range to new extremes while delivering a more lethal blow on impact with Federal Premium Swift Scirocco II loads. The polymer-tipped bullet's streamlined design and high ballistic coefficient produce flat trajectories while retaining more velocity and energy downrange. Aided by its polymer tip, the bonded Scirocco II expands at minimal velocities yet offers high weight retention at close range. The advanced secant ogive maximizes ballistic coefficient, while the tapered copper jacket is bonded to the lead core for superior performance.
