Product Overview
Federal 165-grain Swift Scirocco II is a bonded .30-06 Springfield hunting load made for big game. The Scirocco II is Swift's polymer-tipped bullet with a boat tail and a jacket bonded to the lead core. It leaves the muzzle at 2,800 fps with 2,872 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .450.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 22.7 inches at 400 yards, arriving with 1,533 ft-lbs.
If you're cross-shopping, Fiocchi's Hyperformance 165-grain Swift Scirocco II is the same bullet 75 fps faster on a G1 BC of .470 and drops 21.1 inches at 400 yards from a 200-yard zero. Sig Sauer's 165-grain Elite Hunter Tipped has a G1 BC of .530 and off that zero it drops 19.1 inches at 400.
- Carries 1,809 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- A bonded core, where HSM's Tipping Point 165-grain Hornady SST has a plain lead core
- A higher G1 BC than both Sellier & Bellot's eXergy 165-grain at .398 and HSM's Tipping Point 165-grain Hornady SST at .447
- The slowest start of the 165-grain loads compared apart from Sellier & Bellot's eXergy 165-grain and HSM's Tipping Point 165-grain Hornady SST
- A bonded core but a lead one, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required. Sellier & Bellot's eXergy 165-grain is the solid copper load at this weight
- 372 ft-lbs behind Sig Sauer's 165-grain Elite Hunter Tipped at 400 yards
