Federal HammerDown 45-70 Government 300gr soft point ammunition is engineered specifically for lever-action rifles, delivering optimized ballistics and cycling reliability that standard rifle rounds cannot match. This ammunition addresses a critical gap in the market: most centerfire rifle cartridges are designed around bolt-action or semi-automatic platforms, not the unique chamber pressures and barrel lengths of classic lever guns.
Federal's molecular bonding technology in the 300-grain soft point projectile ensures consistent expansion at velocities tuned to lever-action barrel lengths, maximizing both accuracy and terminal performance where it matters most. The 45-70 Government is a proven big-game cartridge with a heritage spanning over 150 years, but modern ammunition designed expressly for it—particularly for lever-action cycling—remains limited.
Federal's HammerDown line closes that gap with projectile geometry and velocity profiles matched to lever-gun ballistics. This ammunition is built for hunters and sport shooters who rely on lever-action platforms—whether traditional Winchester Model 94 variants, Marlin rifles, or modern designs. Each box contains 20 rounds, and with 10 boxes per case, you have sufficient volume for both serious hunting seasons and range validation.
