Lever-action rifles demand ammunition engineered for their unique feeding, barrel lengths, and magazine types. For hunters and lever-gun enthusiasts who want consistent cycling, reliable expansion, and lever-action-optimized ballistics, the right load can make all the difference.

FEDERAL PREMIUM HAMMERDOWN delivers ammunition specifically tuned for lever-action platforms. Velocities for these loads are customized to perform through lever-action barrel lengths, and the molecularly bonded soft point bullets have been adjusted for optimal accuracy and controlled expansion at those velocities.

Optimized Ballistics for Shorter Barrels

Many lever guns run shorter barrels than bolt rifles. FEDERAL PREMIUM HAMMERDOWN calibrates powder and projectile geometry so muzzle velocity and energy are optimized for those lengths. That means flatter trajectory inside typical hunting ranges and better terminal performance where it matters without overstressing the design envelope of a lever-action.

Bullet Construction and Terminal Performance

Molecularly bonded soft point construction is a standout feature. By bonding the jacket to the core, these bullets retain weight and deliver consistent expansion even at the moderated velocities used in lever-action loads. That results in predictable wound channels and reliable penetration for ethical harvesting or defense scenarios where a lever gun is chosen.

Feeding and Cycling Reliability

The cartridge, case, and bullet geometry have been refined to ensure flawless cycling through tubular magazines and typical lever-action feeding systems. For shooters who depend on smooth, snag-free feeding in the field, this ammunition reduces the chance of functional issues that standard rifle loads may present in a lever platform.
