Description
The Federal 280 AI 155gr Terminal Ascent load is built for shooters who want more from their 280 Ackley Improved than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 155 grain Terminal Ascent bonded to a rated 2930 feet per second, producing about 2955 foot-pounds of energy. Federal Premium Terminal Ascent is built for long-range hunting.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 280 AI 155gr Terminal Ascent until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
