Federal's partnership with Swift Bullets produced a standout load that takes modern hunting ammo seriously. The Swift Scirocco II in .270 Winchester brings together precision engineering and real-world reliability, making it the kind of ammunition that earns repeat customers.
The polymer tip isn't just window dressing. It's engineered to improve ballistics on the way to your target while initiating expansion only when it should. Unlike some designs that prioritize one aspect of performance, the Scirocco II handles both distance and impact with a tapered copper jacket bonded to a lead core. This bonded construction means the bullet stays together under velocity stress, giving you predictable performance from close range to extended distances. The boat-tail profile and advanced secant ogive maximize that 0.45 ballistic coefficient, translating to flatter trajectories and retained energy downrange.
Federal loaded these cartridges with their standard premium components: carefully inspected primers for consistent ignition, premium powders formulated to Federal's specs, and nickel-plated brass that handles harsh conditions without corrosion issues. The 130-grain bullet weight is the sweet spot for the .270 Winchester platform. It leaves the muzzle at 3050 fps with 2685 ft-lbs of energy, delivering the flat trajectory hunters appreciate while maintaining enough velocity at range to perform reliably on whitetail, antelope, and similar medium-game animals. Twenty rounds per box means you've got enough to work up a load, practice before season, or handle opening weekend without worrying about rationing.
The engineering matters because field situations don't always cooperate with your planning. The Scirocco II expands reliably even at the lower velocities you encounter at distance, while high weight retention at close range means the bullet doesn't shed fragments that could compromise effectiveness. That's a rare combination. The result is ammunition that performs consistently across the velocity envelope, from 50 yards to 300+ yards, giving you confidence in whatever the setup demands.
The Scirocco II combines a bonded bullet construction with a polymer tip designed for both aerodynamic flight and reliable low-velocity expansion. The bonded copper jacket maintains weight retention even at close range, while the boat-tail profile and high ballistic coefficient keep trajectory flat at distance. This dual-performance design handles the full range of hunting scenarios most .270 rifles encounter.
Yes. The 0.45 ballistic coefficient and streamlined design help this round maintain velocity and energy at extended distances. With 3050 fps muzzle velocity and premium components, it's engineered for hunting situations beyond 200 yards where flat trajectory and reliable expansion matter. The polymer tip initiates consistent expansion even at reduced impact velocities.
The nickel-plated brass is reloadable. Federal's premium components and consistent case quality make these cartridges good candidates for reloading once you've fired them, giving you another option beyond new production ammunition.
Federal designed the Swift Scirocco II for medium-sized game, particularly whitetail deer and antelope. The 130-grain bullet strikes the balance the .270 Winchester platform handles best, delivering enough energy for clean, ethical performance without excess. It's less optimal for large elk, though some experienced hunters use it in closer-range situations for those animals.
