Federal Premium Ammunition 6.5 Creedmoor 130 Grain Swift Scirocco II 20RD

Federal Premium 6.5 Creedmoor 130 grain Swift Scirocco II ammunition is purpose-built for hunters and long-range shooters who demand terminal performance matched to modern ballistics. This factory-loaded round pairs the flat-shooting characteristics of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge with Swift's proven bonded bullet design, giving you a capable all-around option for medium to large game at extended ranges.

The Swift Scirocco II bullet features a polymer tip that initiates expansion at modest impact velocities—valuable when shooting at distance where velocity has already begun to decay—while its bonded copper jacket provides exceptional weight retention through the shot. That combination of controlled expansion and structural integrity means more energy transferred to the target and more consistent performance whether you're shooting from a treestand or a bench at 500 yards.

The aerodynamic profile and high ballistic coefficient keep the round flying flat and fast, reducing wind drift and the hold-over math on longer shots. Twenty rounds per box makes this a practical choice for hunting trips, load testing, or working up loads for a new rifle build. Federal's quality control and consistent velocity run ensure you get the accuracy and reliability you'd expect from a premium factory round.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Swift Scirocco II bullet designed to do?

The Scirocco II is a bonded bullet with a polymer tip engineered to expand reliably even at reduced velocities (important at extended range) while retaining weight through the animal for deep, consistent penetration. The bonded construction keeps the jacket and core together for predictable performance.

Is 6.5 Creedmoor suitable for hunting?

Yes. The 6.5 Creedmoor is widely used for hunting medium to large game. The 130 grain Swift Scirocco II load pairs modern ballistics with a proven bullet design, making it capable across a range of hunting scenarios from closer work to extended-range applications.

What does "high ballistic coefficient" mean for my shooting?

A high ballistic coefficient means the bullet resists wind drift and velocity loss over distance better than a lower-BC round. This translates to flatter trajectories, fewer elevation adjustments at range, and more consistent energy downrange—all useful whether you're hunting or shooting competitions.

How many rounds are in a box?

This product contains 20 rounds per box.
