Swift 75 Grain Scirocco II
The Swift 75 grain Scirocco II is a heavy .22 caliber (0.224”) polymer-tipped, bonded bullet with a ballistic coefficient of 0.419. What else could you ask for in a “blind to barriers” projectile? Oh, and did I mention that it’s accurate too?
The 10-shot group pictured below was fired off the bench from one of my Krieger barreled AR-15s (1:7.7” twist) at a distance of 100 yards using a hand-load topped with the 75 grain Scirocco II. The group has an extreme spread of 0.87”. (The rounds were loaded to magazine length and fired from the magazine.)
The Swift Bullet Company has announced that it will begin producing factory-loaded ammunition using their own bullets. One of the announced selections is a 223 Remington load topped with the 75 grain Scirocco II.
While this ammunition is being marketed as hunting ammunition, the 75 grain Scirocco II bullet is on Dr. G.K. Roberts’ list of approved “blind to barriers” projectiles.
