Swift’s Scirocco II ammunition in .223 Remington (brand part no. 10034) loads a 75-grain bonded boat tail bullet at 2,629 feet per second for shooters who need one bullet to perform at both close range and far beyond it. Swift builds the Scirocco II around a bonded core and its Signature Black Tip, a combination that produces positive, controlled expansion even at the reduced velocities a long shot delivers, while still retaining high weight and controlled expansion at close-range impact speeds. The sleek, high-BC design carries velocity and energy downrange better than a conventional cup-and-core bullet, giving a heavy-for-caliber .223 load real reach without sacrificing terminal performance up close. For .223 Rem shooters who don’t want to guess their engagement distance before the shot, this rifle ammunition is built to perform at either end of the range.
