Weatherby 6.5 PRC 130gr Swift Scirocco ammunition comes in a 20-round box (Weatherby part no. F65PRC130SCO) loaded for hunters shooting rifles chambered in 6.5 PRC. Weatherby lists this 130-grain load at 3025 fps and 2641 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, with a G1 ballistic coefficient of .571. Weatherby describes the Swift Scirocco as a bonded hunting bullet with a tapered pure copper jacket, Swift bonding technology and a secant ogive nose that keeps the ballistic coefficient high for flat trajectories. It is a straightforward choice when you want factory ammunition built around the Swift Scirocco rather than a handload.
