The Federal P280A1TC1 Premium ammunition delivers exceptional long-range performance in the specialized 280 Ackley Improved cartridge. This premium hunting load combines Federal's Trophy Copper bullet technology with precise powder charges for consistent accuracy and reliable expansion on big game.
What Makes This Different
The Trophy Copper bullet features a solid copper construction that retains 99% of its weight upon impact, delivering deeper penetration than traditional lead-core bullets. The polymer tip initiates expansion at lower velocities while the grooved bullet shank reduces barrel fouling. Federal's nickel-plated brass cases provide smooth feeding and extraction in bolt-action rifles chambered for this improved cartridge.
