The Scirocco II is one of the most versatile hunting bullets ever designed, and this factory-loaded ammunition puts it in your magazine ready to go. You're getting a bullet that's been proven across decades of real-world hunting, paired with Swift's engineering and quality control.
What makes these stand out is the combination of design and construction. The boat-tail profile, polymer tip, and secant ogive create an aerodynamic package that holds velocity and energy downrange better than most alternatives. The ballistic coefficient is genuinely high, which means flatter trajectories and less wind drift when you're stretching the shot. That matters when you're set up for a long-range hunt.
The real selling point of the Scirocco II is how it performs across a wide velocity spectrum. The bonded copper jacket with internally bonded lead core gives you controlled expansion whether you're shooting at 1,750 feet per second or pushing 3,200 fps. At close range, you get high weight retention and deep penetration. At distance, the polymer tip initiates expansion reliably even when velocity has dropped. That's a harder engineering problem to solve than it sounds, and Swift got it right.
This is factory ammunition loaded to a consistent 2,856 feet per second. You get 20 rounds per box, which is standard for premium hunting ammo. The brass is consistent, the loading is uniform, and each cartridge is built to the same standard. If you reload, these spent cases make excellent components for your own loads since Swift uses solid brass construction throughout.
The Scirocco II is engineered to expand reliably between 1,750 and 3,200 feet per second, making it work well from close encounters to extended-range shots. The bonded core construction ensures controlled expansion and high weight retention throughout that velocity range, so the bullet performs consistently whether you're hunting at 50 yards or 500 yards.
The II version was redesigned around 2006 with improved metallurgy in the copper jacket to better withstand high-impact velocities. The exterior shape and design remain the same, but the annealed jacket construction allows deeper penetration while still expanding into a wide mushroom. Both versions maintain the high ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy the Scirocco line is known for.
Yes, Swift uses solid brass construction throughout their ammunition, and the cases are suitable for reloading. They're built to standard dimensions and hold up well to multiple loadings, making them a good value if you're a handloader. Just follow standard brass handling and preparation practices when processing fired cases.
The 150-grain load is popular for medium to large game. In .308 Winchester, you're looking at plenty of power for deer, hogs, and elk when placed correctly. The controlled expansion and weight retention of the Scirocco II make it effective, though shot placement matters more than anything else. If you're hunting heavier game, some hunters prefer stepping up to 165 or 180-grain loads for increased energy retention at distance.
