God bless you, Mr. Ackley, for improving the world in a way only a wildcatter can. Now that you’re gone, it’s up to Federal Premium to continue your good work. And the old Minnesotan company really has done good work with this 280 Ackley Improved hunting cartridge. It is armed with the 155 grain Terminal Ascent: a match-accurate and bonded polymer tipped bullet!
The Terminal Ascent’s Slipstream tip serves two purposes. It greatly streamlines the projectile’s frontal profile (G1 0.586/G7 0.300 BC), which helps to flatten its trajectory while simultaneously strengthening its striking energy. The Slipstream tip also catalyzes expansion; it does this so effectively that you can reasonably expect the Terminal Ascent to broaden out at velocities 200 fps lower than another, lesser hunting bullet.
The Terminal Ascent excels at close range, too. Its copper jacket is extra thick, and thoroughly bonded to the underlying lead core. This gives the Terminal Ascent the capacity for weight retention that goes hand in hand with consistently deep penetration.
Federal seats their Terminal Ascent in a nickel-plated brass case – a perfect component if you want added security against tarnishing, or easier cleanup at the reloading press!
