In the realm of firearms, few platforms evoke as much nostalgia and raw practicality as the lever-action rifle. The Federal Premium® HammerDown™ ammunition is crafted with a singular purpose: to elevate the performance of these venerable rifles to unprecedented heights. This isn't just another round; it's an evolution in lever gun ballistics.
The HammerDown™ series has been meticulously engineered for flawless operation within the unique mechanics of lever-action systems. Whether you're loading through a side gate or relying on tubular magazines, each cartridge is designed for seamless cycling—thanks to its modified chamfered case geometry.
But function without power would be half measures at best. These rounds are tailored for increased velocities that harmonize perfectly with typical lever-action barrel lengths, delivering superior terminal performance when it counts most. At their core are molecularly bonded soft point bullets that offer exceptional accuracy and controlled expansion upon impact—a testament to thoughtful design and innovation achieved in partnership with Henry Repeating Arms.
The commitment to excellence extends beyond mere internal ballistics. Each round features nickel-plated cases, ensuring corrosion resistance and smooth chambering even under adverse conditions—all while maintaining optimal weight retention at impact.
This is not merely ammunition but rather a comprehensive enhancement of your trusted rifle's capabilities—bringing modern efficiency to classic tradition.
