280 ACKLEY IMPROVED

$109.00

The 280 AI was developed by Parker Otto (P.O.) Ackley. P.O. was a lot like Roy Weatherby, a wildcatter who was in search of better solutions. His 280 AI set out to improve the .280 Rem by steeping the shoulder to 40 degrees to increase powder capacity. Weatherby is known for ballistics and velocity, our 280 AI offerings will push the industry standards on both.

An improved 280 REM

The 280 AI was developed by Parker Otto (P.O.) Ackley. P.O. was a lot like Roy Weatherby, a wildcatter who was in search of better solutions. His 280 AI set out to improve the .280 Rem by steeping the shoulder to 40 degrees to increase power capacity. It was then registered by SAAMI in 2007 by Nosler and has been an underserved cartridge in the market.

Our line-up of offerings are intended to provide the market with premium hunting options.

Bullet Information

Hammer Custom

Hammer Bullets™ are turned on a CNC lathe and use a unique solid copper blend that is designed for maximum terminal performance. Each bullet is weighed and micrometer measured as it is produced. The result is an incredibly consistent product with unparalleled quality control. The hollow point design, initiates expansion upon impact, shedding petals immediately, with the remainder of the bullet staying intact with a blunt front for optimal wound channel. All Hammer Custom Bullets are designed to optimize Weatherby’s flat shooting cartridges.

  • Common Reference – 7mm Caliber
  • Bullet Diameter – .284" (7.2mm)
  • Bullet Weight – 139 gr.
  • B/C (G1) – .410
  • Max Case Length – 3.34“
