Federal 280 Ackley Improved Ammunition 155 Grain Polymer Tip - P280AITA1

The Federal 280 Ackley Improved Ammunition is designed for those who demand performance and precision from their hunting ammo.

  • Bullet Design: The polymer tip enhances ballistic performance, ensuring accuracy and deep penetration.
  • Compatibility: Ideal for use in firearms chambered for 280 Ackley Improved calibers.

Deep Dive

Overview

Federal's 280 Ackley Improved Ammunition is crafted to suit the demanding expectations of big game hunters. Its aim is to provide hunters with ammunition that can maintain high accuracy and terminal performance, even at extended ranges. The 155-grain bullet, matched with a polymer tip, ensures maximum aerodynamic efficiency, allowing it to cut through the air with reduced drag and sustain a flat trajectory. This functionality is essential for avid hunters aiming for ethical and effective takedowns of game animals.

History and Development

The 280 Ackley Improved is a popular modification of the 280 Remington, offering enhanced ballistic performance by incorporating a sharper shoulder angle and increased case capacity. This design stems from P.O. Ackley, a renowned gunsmith who sought to improve upon already established calibers for better performance. Federal's interpretation of this caliber adheres to Ackley's vision, leveraging modern manufacturing processes to deliver consistency and quality that modern hunters demand.

Common Questions and FAQs

  • How is this ammunition packaged, and are bulk options available?
    Packaging specifics are not provided, but Federal Ammo typically offers various packaging options, frequently with bulk purchase benefits.
  • What is the ideal shooting distance for this ammunition?
    While effective up to several hundred yards, the ideal range depends on your firearm setup and shooting conditions.
  • Is this ammunition suitable for all weather conditions?
    Yes, Federal 280 Ackley Improved is designed to perform reliably in diverse weather conditions.
  • Can this product be used in semi-automatic rifles?
    It is optimized for bolt-action rifles, but may function in semi-autos chambered for this caliber with proper cycling.
  • What wildlife is this ammunition most effective against?
    It's best suited for large game such as deer, elk, and similar-sized animals.
  • Does the polymer tip affect the round's velocity or energy?
    The polymer tip aids in maintaining a flat trajectory and increasing the round's ballistic coefficient, enhancing overall velocity retention and energy transfer.

  • Big Game

Why It Stands Out:

The Federal 280 Ackley Improved 155 Grain Terminal Ascent ammunition is a standout choice for big game hunters looking for reliable, high-performance rounds. Crafted with precision in mind, its polymer tip design ensures high accuracy and impactful energy transfer, making it suitable for various hunting scenarios. Coupled with Federal's proven manufacturing quality, it’s an ideal option for hunters who value consistent performance and effective expansion in a hunting cartridge.

My rifle did not shoot these as well as I expected. 1" groups. I get 3/4" groups with other bullets. I love these bullets in my other rifles though. They absolutely perform on animals as advertised. I've killed elk, buffalo, dall sheep and hogs with this bullet in various calibers. It is punishing and expands and penetrates. One of the best bullets on the market, handsdown.
