You’re looking at 6.5 Creedmoor hunting ammo engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration on whitetail, mule deer, and antelope-class game. The Remington Premier line pairs the Swift Scirocco II bonded polymer tip bullet with match-grade brass and consistent lot-to-lot velocity. The 130 grain projectile exits the muzzle at 2750 fps, carrying 2183 ft-lbs of energy and a 0.547 G1 ballistic coefficient that keeps the trajectory flat through 400 yards. The secant ogive nose profile reduces drag in flight, while the bonded core-to-jacket construction holds over 75 percent weight retention on impact — you get a controlled mushroom, not fragmentation, even when bone is in the path.
Load Profile
Remington loads this cartridge with a progressively thickening copper jacket bonded to a pure lead core under heat and pressure. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1800 fps, making it effective at extended range where lighter bullets shed energy. The boat tail base stabilizes in flight and reduces drag at the back end. Boxer primer and reloadable brass case let you reload spent hulls if you want to tune seating depth or experiment with different powders.

If you’re running a bolt gun with a 24-inch barrel, expect velocities within 50 fps of the factory spec.
