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 and their 280 AI offerings will push the industry standards on both.
Hammer Bullets are turned on a CNC lathe and use a unique solid copper blend that is designed for maximum terminal performance. Each bullet is weighed and micrometer measured as it is produced. The result is an incredibly consistent product with unparalleled quality control. The hollow point design initiates expansion upon impact shedding petals immediately with the remainder of the bullet staying intact with a blunt front for optimal wound channel. All Hammer Custom Bullets are designed to optimize Weatherby’s flat shooting cartridges.

The 280 Remington Ackley Improved (280 AI) is an "improved" or blown-out verions of the 280 Remington, meaning the chamber is enlarged so that cane body taper is remove, increasing powder capacity and thus increasing velocity. Just one of dozens of wildcat cartridges developed by Parker O. Acklely during his long career, it has progressed into factory chamberings. With its staight case and sharper shoulder the unbelted 280 AI is capable of velocity very close to the 7mm Remington Magnum, but retains the smaller case (and thus magazine capacity) of the 280 Remington. Like most "improved" cartridges it is safe to fire 280 Remington cartridges in a 280 AI chamber; there is some loss of velocity due to case expansion, but this is the normal process by which 280 AI cases are fire-formed for reloading. —
