The Swift Scirocco II is a bonded, polymer-tipped hunting bullet built for handloaders who want match-grade accuracy without giving up terminal punch. This 180-grain .30 cal (.308" diameter) projectile carries a .520 ballistic coefficient and a .271 sectional density, a combination that keeps trajectories flat and puts serious penetration behind every shot. The Signature Black Tip sits at the front of a secant ogive nose, resisting air up front while the 15-degree boat tail base cuts drag out back. Put those together and you get a bullet that holds velocity and energy way downrange, which is exactly what you want when the shot stretches out past comfortable iron-sight distance.
What really makes this bullet earn its keep is the construction. Swift uses a progressively tapering pure copper jacket that's bonded to the lead core, so the two don't separate on impact the way a standard cup-and-core bullet can. That bonding process is the heart of the design, letting the Scirocco II expand reliably even at the lower velocities you see at long range while still holding together through hide and bone up close. Recovered bullets routinely show better than 70% weight retention, and plenty of hunters report figures well north of that on elk-sized game.
As a reloading component, this is a versatile 180-grain option for the .308 Winchester, .30-06, .300 Win Mag, .300 WSM, and other .30 caliber cartridges. One thing worth knowing going in: the Scirocco II tends to reward a little load development. Working up your seating depth in small increments makes a real difference in tightening groups, so give yourself some range time to dial it in for your specific rifle. Once you find the sweet spot, folks tend to stick with these season after season.
This is a projectile only and not loaded ammunition, so you'll need your own brass, powder, and primers to build a finished round.
This .308" diameter, 180-grain bullet works in any .30 caliber cartridge with the case capacity to run it, including the .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .300 Win Mag, and .300 WSM. Heavier magnums let this bullet stretch its legs at longer range, while the .308 and .30-06 make great all-around elk and deer loads. Since it's a component, you'll supply your own brass, powder, and primers.
Swift's bonded construction keeps the pure copper jacket and lead core locked together, and hunters routinely recover bullets holding better than 70% of their original weight. Many report retention well above that even on tough, close-range shots through heavy bone. That deep, controlled penetration is a big part of why the 180-grain Scirocco II is trusted on elk and moose.
They are, but they tend to reward a bit of effort. The Scirocco II can be particular about seating depth, so working up your load in small increments will help you find the node where groups really tighten. Once dialed in for your rifle, reloaders consistently report excellent accuracy alongside the terminal performance.
This is a component projectile only, not finished ammunition. You'll need your own cases, powder, and primers to assemble a complete cartridge. It's meant for handloaders building their own hunting rounds.
