Federal premium 130 gr swift scirocco ii 6.5 creedmoor - Federal Premium SWIFT SCIROCCO 6.5 Creedmoor 130 Grain Swift Scirocco Polymer Tip Centerfire Rifle Ammunition

I prefer un-plated brass cases but this was a great offering from Federal loaded with the premium bonded, tipped, Swift Scirocco II bullets. I guess now that Federal has the Fusion Tipped bullet they see no need to load an offering from another manufacturer so it seems they've discontinued it. I used this load out of my Winchester Model 70 Extreme Hunter to take a nice 8-point this season. It was a quartering towards shot so the bullet entered the chest and ended up just under the skin behind the opposite shoulder on an 80 yd shot. The buck ran 65 yards through an open field before going down against a barbed wire fence. I'll never forget it! I weighed the bullet and it was down to 93.4 gr from the original 130 gr. It expanded to 14 mm at the widest which is more than twice the original diameter of 6.5 mm.
