Federal Premium HammerDown 360 BuckHammer 220gr Soft Point

The Lever-Action Advantage

Federal Premium HammerDown ammunition represents a significant advancement in lever-action rifle performance. Developed in partnership with Henry Repeating Arms, these loads are the first ammunition truly designed from the ground up for optimal cycling and reliability in lever-action platforms.

Engineering for Performance

Every component of HammerDown ammunition has been carefully engineered for lever guns:

• Customized Velocities: Loads are tuned to deliver superior ballistics and terminal performance through lever-action barrel lengths, producing approximately 2,000 feet per second
• Optimized Bullet Construction: Molecularly bonded soft point bullets are specifically designed for expansion and weight retention at lever-action velocities
• Case Geometry: Modified chamfered cases and cartridge design ensure flawless feeding through both side-gate loading and traditional tubular magazines
• Nickel-Plated Cases: Enhanced corrosion resistance for reliability in the field

What Makes It Different

Traditional rifle ammunition wasn't designed for lever-action cycling requirements. HammerDown ammunition solves this by matching bullet performance to the velocities and feeding systems that define these classic rifles. The 220-grain soft point delivers excellent expansion while maintaining the weight retention needed for ethical hunting performance.

The Bottom Line

If you own a lever-action rifle, HammerDown ammunition will make it run better than ever before. This is ammunition engineered by shooters who understand what lever guns need to perform at their best.
