The Remington Premier 270 Winchester ammunition loads a 130-grain Swift Scirocco II bonded polymer tip projectile to 3060 feet per second and 2704 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. This is 270 Winchester ammo engineered for hunters who need consistent terminal performance on medium to large game at ranges where wind drift and energy retention matter. The polymer tip initiates expansion on impact while the bonded jacket-to-core construction prevents separation through heavy muscle and bone, maintaining over 75 percent of original bullet weight. A secant ogive nose profile and boat tail base deliver a 0.45 G1 ballistic coefficient and 0.242 sectional density, flattening trajectories and reducing wind deflection compared to conventional soft-point designs in this weight class.
Performance at a Glance
Remington pairs the Swift Scirocco II with a progressively thickening copper jacket bonded to a lead core under controlled heat and pressure. The bond eliminates core slippage during penetration, preserving frontal diameter and maintaining straight-line wound channels. Remington loads this round in reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers, and the 20-round box ships from U.S. production facilities. Supersonic velocity rating means the bullet remains above the speed of sound past 600 yards under standard atmospheric conditions, maintaining predictable flight characteristics for hunters who practice at distance.

The 130-grain Swift Scirocco II sits in the middle of the 270 Winchester weight spectrum, balancing velocity for flat trajectory with sectional density for penetration on elk, mule deer, and black bear. Remington’s Premier line uses match-grade concentricity tolerances to keep groups tight at extended ranges.
