Weatherby Select Plus Ammunition: 280 Ackley Improved, 150 gr, Swift Scirocco, 2925 fps, Model F280A150SCO

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.
