Federal Premium Meat Eater 280 Ackley Improved ammunition delivers match-grade long-range accuracy in a 140-grain lead-free package built for hunters serious about ethical takedowns at distance. The Trophy Copper Tipped Boat Tail design combines Federal's bonded construction with a proprietary Slipstream polymer tip that initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs—meaning reliable performance from point-blank to extreme range. This isn't generic catalog ammo; it's purpose-built for the demanding 280 Ackley Improved platform and the hunters who trust it.
The 140-grain bullet profile delivers an extremely high ballistic coefficient, which translates to a flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and reduced bullet drop over distance. AccuChannel groove technology cuts drag and improves accuracy without sacrificing the penetration needed for clean kills. The copper shank and bonded lead core work together to retain weight through bone and heavy muscle, ensuring deep penetration whether you're taking a shot at 100 yards or stretching it to long range.
If you're running a 280 Ackley Improved and you care about terminal performance as much as you care about ballistics, Federal Premium Meat Eater ammunition earns its place in your magazine. Lead-free construction makes it legal in all jurisdictions and responsible for game and predator hunting alike. Each box contains 20 rounds.
