Remington, .243 Winchester Swift Scirocco Bonded bullet ammunition which combines polymer tip ballistics with weight retention is a break-through line of big game ammunition that combines many of the best performance features developed over the last half-century. The expansion-generating polymer tip and the boat tail base combine to defy air resistance at the front end, and reduce drag at the back.

The progressively thickening, heavy-based, pure copper jacket is bonded to the lead core to preserve bullet integrity and retain over 75% of its weight at all velocities. Finally, the bullet’s precise concentricity and secant ogive nose profile produces excellent accuracy.
