Fiocchi's Hyperformance line reaches new heights with their 165-grain Swift Scirocco II load, pushing velocities that'll make other manufacturers blush. This screaming fast round breaks the sound barrier at 2875 fps, unleashing a staggering 3028 ft-lbs of energy downrange. That's the kind of speed that makes rangefinders almost optional inside 300 yards, while carrying enough punch to drop elk like they've been struck by lightning.

The Swift Scirocco II bullet itself is a marvel of modern engineering, featuring an aggressive polymer tip that rides point for a securely bonded core. Unlike traditional cup-and-core designs that can separate under stress, this projectile maintains structural integrity through thick hide and heavy bone. The sleek profile slices through mountain winds like they don't exist, while the bonded construction ensures you're not losing performance to wet weather or tough hide.

High alpine basins and steep canyon walls are where this round truly shines. The flat trajectory lets you focus on shot placement instead of holdovers, while the devastating terminal performance means one-shot kills on everything from muleys to bull elk. Whether you're glassing distant ridges in Montana or stalking timber in Idaho, this load transforms your trusted .30-06 into a precision instrument of harvest. Just be ready to field questions at camp about what you're shooting - the results tend to draw attention.
