The Federal Premium HammerDown .35 Remington 220 Grain ammunition is purpose-built to unlock the full potential of your lever-action rifle. Developed in partnership with Henry Repeating Arms, HammerDown is the first ammunition line specifically engineered to optimize feeding, cycling, and terminal performance in classic lever guns. Whether you're hunting whitetails in thick hardwoods or tracking black bear through dense cover, this premium load delivers the reliability and hard-hitting performance lever-action enthusiasts have been waiting for.
Each cartridge is loaded with a 220-grain bonded soft point bullet designed specifically for the velocities produced by lever-action rifles. Unlike conventional rifle ammunition, the HammerDown projectile is optimized to expand reliably at the velocities common to lever-gun barrel lengths while maintaining excellent weight retention. The molecularly bonded jacket and core work together to resist separation on impact, providing deep penetration and consistent expansion for clean, ethical harvests on big game.
Leaving the muzzle at 1,940 feet per second, this .35 Remington load delivers the ideal blend of power and controllability for woods hunting. The heavy 220-grain bullet carries substantial energy downrange while offering dependable performance on deer, black bear, feral hogs, and other medium to large game. With a ballistic coefficient of .263, the bullet maintains stable flight characteristics while delivering the hard-hitting impact that has made the .35 Remington a favorite among lever-action hunters for generations.
Federal engineered every aspect of the HammerDown cartridge to function flawlessly in tubular magazine rifles. The cartridge geometry has been carefully refined to ensure smooth feeding through traditional lever-action actions, while a modified chamfered case further enhances feeding reliability. Whether you're loading through a side gate or cycling rounds rapidly in the field, this ammunition is designed to keep your rifle running smoothly and consistently.
Each cartridge features a premium nickel-plated case that offers improved corrosion resistance, smooth chambering, and reliable extraction under demanding hunting conditions. The high-quality cases also provide excellent durability and contribute to the consistent performance Federal Premium ammunition is known for. Combined with carefully selected components and precision manufacturing, every round is built to deliver dependable ignition and repeatable accuracy.
Packaged in a convenient 20-round box, Federal Premium HammerDown ammunition provides enough rounds for confirming your zero, practicing before the season, and heading confidently into the field. Every component has been engineered with the lever-action hunter in mind, creating a purpose-built load that maximizes the capabilities of one of America's most iconic rifle platforms.
