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.
