Description
The Federal Premium HammerDown line is purpose-built ammunition engineered specifically for modern lever-action rifles. This 45-70 Government load drives a heavy 300 grain Bonded Soft Point bullet to 1850 fps, producing a hard-hitting 2280 ft lbs of muzzle energy – a serious big game round tailored to the velocity profile of lever-action barrel lengths.
The HammerDown design features a modified, chamfered case that feeds smoothly through side gate loading and tubular magazines, eliminating the snags and feeding issues common to standard ammunition in lever-action rifles. The Bonded Soft Point bullet is designed to hold together on impact for deep, reliable penetration on big game, while the nickel-plated brass case promotes smooth cycling and corrosion resistance in the field.
Federal Premium HammerDown ammunition is purpose-built for consistent, reliable performance through lever-action rifle systems in the hunting woods.
