The Federal Swift Scirocco II 6.5 Creedmoor 130gr load (Federal part no. P65CRDSS1) is built around a 130-grain bullet and rated at 2800 fps at the muzzle. The polymer-tipped bullet has a streamlined design and a high ballistic coefficient, so it keeps velocity and energy downrange, and its Signature Black Tip makes the load easy to spot in the box. A bonded copper jacket lets the bullet expand at minimal velocities while still holding its weight at close range. It suits hunters who want flat trajectories and a bonded bullet for big game at distance. This Federal box holds 20 rounds, enough for a sight-in and a day afield.
