When selecting rifle ammunition for serious big-game work, reliability and predictable terminal performance are non-negotiable. Shooters and hunters want a cartridge that balances aerodynamics, expansion, and weight retention to deliver ethical, repeatable results at practical distances.

REMINGTON PREMIER

Design and ballistic advantages

The Scirocco Bonded bullet design defines the performance of REMINGTON PREMIER. An expansion-generating polymer tip improves ballistic coefficient and initiates reliable mushrooming on impact, while the boat tail base reduces drag for flatter trajectories and improved downrange energy retention. The progressively thickening heavy-based pure copper jacket is bonded to the lead core to preserve bullet integrity — Remington specifies retention of over 75% of bullet weight at all velocities. For shooters who prioritize both long-range accuracy and controlled terminal performance, those features offer a clear technical advantage.

Field applications and reliability

Big-game effectiveness

REMINGTON PREMIER’s bonded jacket and polymer tip combination promotes deep penetration with consistent expansion — qualities desirable for elk, moose, and other large game. The boat tail profile helps maintain velocity and energy at extended ranges, making it a solid choice for hunters who take longer shots.

Fit and feed considerations

Because the Scirocco tip is polymer and the jacket is tapered with a boat tail, feeding in modern bolt-action and magazine-fed rifles is smooth. The line is offered in various models to cover common hunting calibers, allowing you to match bullet weight and sectional density to your cartridge choice.

View product details and pricing — REMINGTON PREMIER is priced at $49.99 for the listed pack, making it competitive for hunters who demand bonded bullet performance without an extreme premium.

Practical advice for selection

Start with a load that matches your rifle’s twist rate and intended game. Test for accuracy and terminal performance at known distances on the range, and carry enough rounds to confirm consistent function in your rifle. The bonded copper jacket and polymer tip of REMINGTON PREMIER make it an excellent baseline choice for hunters who want controlled expansion and high retained weight across a range of velocities.
