Weatherby Select Plus .280 Ackley Improved 168gr

Weatherby Select Plus Classic Hybrid .280 Ackley Improved

The .280 Ackley Improved represents a significant evolution in rifle cartridge design. Developed by P.O. Ackley, a wildcatter with the same innovative spirit as Roy Weatherby himself, this cartridge improves upon the .280 Remington by increasing the shoulder angle to 40 degrees. This steeper shoulder geometry increases powder capacity, allowing for higher velocities and superior ballistic performance.

Performance and Design

Weatherby Select Plus ammunition is engineered to push industry standards for both velocity and accuracy. The .280 Ackley Improved delivers the kind of performance that serious hunters and target shooters demand.
