Remington Premier .308 Winchester 165 Grain Swift Scirocco II ammunition delivers serious performance for hunters and precision shooters who demand both accuracy and terminal reliability. Built on a foundation of bonded-core construction, these rounds couple match-grade precision with the real-world ballistics and game-stopping power that define modern big-game hunting loads. The 165-grain weight strikes a balance between velocity, energy retention, and penetration—a sweet spot for medium to large game at hunting ranges.
The Swift Scirocco II bullet is engineered around three core technologies that separate it from conventional ammunition. A polymer tip reduces frontal air resistance while initiating controlled expansion, while the boat-tail base minimizes drag in flight to maintain velocity downrange. The progressive-thickness copper jacket is bonded directly to the lead core, a process that prevents jacket separation and ensures the bullet retains over 75% of its weight through impact—critical for deep, reliable penetration on game. The secant ogive profile and precise bullet concentricity contribute to the accuracy you'd expect from premium factory ammunition.
Load 20 rounds into your .308 Winchester and you're carrying ammunition that respects both the rifle and the hunt. Whether you're sighting in for the season or taking a shot at distance, these rounds are built to group tight and perform decisively when it counts. Remington Premier ammunition has long been a dependable choice for hunters who refuse to compromise on quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game is Remington Premier .308 165 grain ammunition suitable for?
The 165-grain Swift Scirocco II load is designed for medium to large game hunting. The bullet's weight, velocity, and over-75% weight retention make it effective on deer, elk, and similar-sized game where deep penetration and controlled expansion are necessary.
How does the bonded jacket design improve performance?
Bonding the copper jacket directly to the lead core prevents jacket-core separation during impact. This ensures the bullet maintains structural integrity and retains over 75% of its original weight, which translates to deeper, more reliable penetration and consistent terminal performance across a range of shooting distances and impact velocities.
Will this ammunition shoot accurately at long range?
Yes. The secant ogive profile, precise bullet concentricity, and boat-tail design work together to deliver high ballistic coefficient and consistency. These are hallmarks of match-grade ammunition that support accurate placement at distance.
What's included in a box of Remington Premier .308 ammunition?
Each box contains 20 rounds of loaded .308 Winchester ammunition with the Swift Scirocco II bullet.
