Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 280 Ackley Improved 155gr Ammo

The Federal P280A1TA1 Premium Terminal Ascent delivers exceptional long-range performance in the potent 280 Ackley Improved cartridge. This premium hunting ammunition combines Federal's advanced Terminal Ascent bullet technology with precise manufacturing to achieve superior accuracy and terminal performance at extended distances.

What Makes This Different

Terminal Ascent bullets feature a unique bonded construction with a solid copper shank and lead core, designed specifically for consistent expansion across a wide velocity range. Unlike conventional hunting bullets that may fragment or fail to expand at long range, the Terminal Ascent maintains structural integrity while delivering controlled expansion from 200 yards to beyond 800 yards. The AccuChannel groove technology reduces drag and improves ballistic coefficient compared to traditional soft-point designs.

Key Features

• 155-grain Terminal Ascent bonded bullet with solid copper rear shank
• AccuChannel groove technology for improved ballistic coefficient
• Slipstream polymer tip enhances aerodynamics and initiates expansion
• Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding
• Federal Premium quality control with consistent powder charges
• Optimized for 280 Ackley Improved chamber specifications
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)

This ammunition excels in hunting applications where long-range precision matters most. The 280 Ackley Improved cartridge provides approximately 150-200 fps velocity increase over standard 280 Remington, extending effective range significantly. Terminal Ascent bullets maintain over 1,800 fps impact velocity at 500 yards, ensuring reliable expansion on medium to large game. The combination performs consistently in varying weather conditions and temperature extremes.
