Product Overview
The DoubleTap .260 Remington drives a 130-grain Swift Scirocco II at 2875 feet per second with 2386 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. Swift bullets have earned a reputation among serious hunters for their bonded construction and reliable performance on game. The Scirocco II features a polymer tip over a secant ogive design, achieving a 0.491 G1 ballistic coefficient that balances aerodynamics with terminal effectiveness.
The Scirocco II uses Swift's proprietary bonding process to permanently attach the jacket to the lead core, preventing separation during penetration. The thick base resists deformation under pressure while the thinner nose section allows controlled expansion. This construction handles close-range impacts without blowing apart while still expanding reliably at extended distances where velocity drops. The boat tail and polymer tip work together for a flat trajectory.
Hunters who want a versatile load capable of handling shots from 50 to 400 yards will appreciate the Scirocco II's broad performance window. The bonded construction provides confidence on larger game like elk where penetration matters, while the expansion characteristics remain effective on deer-sized animals. DoubleTap's loading maximizes the velocity potential, extending the bullet's effective range beyond what standard loads achieve.
- Swift's bonding process prevents core-jacket separation, providing reliable weight retention through heavy bone
- The 0.491 BC offers good aerodynamic performance while maintaining hunting bullet construction
- Versatile expansion window performs well from close encounters out to extended range
- Thick base construction resists deformation from magnum-level pressures
- Independent testing suggests the advertised BC may be optimistic—real-world performance closer to .491 rather than Swift's claimed .571
- DoubleTap ammunition has more limited retail availability than mainstream options
- The steep boat tail design may contribute to reduced BC compared to longer, shallower designs
- Premium Swift bullets in DoubleTap brass command higher pricing than standard hunting loads
