The .280 Ackley Improved, a brainchild of the innovative Parker Otto Ackley, stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of ballistic excellence. Much like Roy Weatherby in his day, P.O. Ackley was a visionary wildcatter committed to enhancing cartridge performance beyond conventional limits.
In developing the .280 AI, Ackley took the solid foundation of the .280 Remington and elevated it through a simple yet effective modification: steepening its shoulder angle to 40 degrees. This seemingly minor adjustment significantly increases powder capacity, thereby elevating both velocity and energy potential without compromising reliability or accuracy.
Proudly carrying forward this legacy, our offerings in .280 AI are designed not merely to meet industry standards but to push them further than ever before. With these cartridges chambered in your rifle, expect superior ballistics that translate into flatter trajectories and extended range capabilities—qualities sought after by discerning marksmen who demand nothing less than peak performance from their ammunition.
