Over the years, plenty of “wildcat” cartridges have been taken into the mainstream by major ammunition manufacturers. Rounds like the 25-06 Rem., 7 mm-08, and 338-06 all started out as non-standard cartridges before they were “legitimized” and chambered by the industry’s major players. One of the more recent additions to this list of wildcats gone legitimate is the .280 Ackley Improved. Developed by P.O. Ackley and Fred Huntington and known previously by a variety of names such as the “.280 Rem. Ackley Improved 40 degrees,” this cartridge was standardized by Nosler and accepted by SAAMI in 2008.
