Product Overview
Remington loads this round with the Swift Scirocco II, a polymer-tipped bonded hunting bullet with a reputation for deep penetration and high weight retention. The 130gr bullet leaves the muzzle at 2750 fps with 2183 ft-lbs of energy. Its 0.547 G1 BC is among the better numbers in the 6.5 Creedmoor hunting category, thanks to the Scirocco II's secant ogive and boat tail profile. The bonded core keeps the bullet together through heavy bone and muscle on tough quartering shots.
The Scirocco II is built differently from most bonded bullets. Swift uses a proprietary process that bonds the lead core to a progressively thickening copper jacket. The jacket is thinnest at the tip for reliable expansion and thickest at the base for structural integrity during deep penetration. On deer and antelope, the bullet typically mushrooms to 1.5-2x its original diameter while retaining 70-80% of its weight. That weight retention means exit wounds are common even on quartering-away shots, which improves blood trails and recovery rates.
At 2750 fps, this load is slightly slower than the Hornady Superformance or Winchester Deer Season XP, but the bonded construction compensates with better terminal consistency at varied distances and shot angles. Hunters who pursue game in mixed terrain where shot distances vary from 75 to 400 yards will appreciate a bullet that expands reliably across that entire range. The Scirocco II also handles close-range impacts without fragmenting, which is a weakness of non-bonded polymer-tipped bullets. This is a solid all-around hunting load for anyone who values penetration and weight retention over raw speed.
- Swift Scirocco II bonded bullet retains 70-80% of its weight, providing deep penetration on quartering shots
- 0.547 G1 BC from the secant ogive and boat tail profile reduces wind drift compared to standard soft points
- Progressively thickening jacket allows reliable expansion at the tip while maintaining structural integrity at the base
- Handles high-velocity close-range impacts without fragmenting, unlike non-bonded polymer-tipped hunting bullets
- 2750 fps muzzle velocity is slower than several competing 130gr loads, producing more drop at range
- 2183 ft-lbs of muzzle energy is on the lower end for 6.5 Creedmoor hunting loads
- Remington factory ammo availability has been inconsistent in recent years compared to Federal and Hornady
