Federal HammerDown 45 LC ammunition in 250-grain hollow point is engineered specifically for lever-action rifle platforms. This ammunition is designed for optimal cycling and performance from classic and modern lever guns, where standard centerfire loads often fall short. The 250-grain bullet weight in .45 Colt caliber represents a proven balance of velocity, energy retention, and expansion characteristics for hunting and sport shooting.
The molecularly bonded soft-point bullet construction has been customized to deliver superior ballistics and terminal performance through the typical barrel lengths of lever-action rifles. Federal's HammerDown line offers velocities optimized for lever-action barrel lengths, avoiding the velocity penalties that occur when full-power handgun or rifle loads are cycled through shorter barrels. The bullet geometry and expansion profile have been adjusted for best accuracy and reliable expansion at those velocities, ensuring consistent shot placement and effective energy transfer on game or targets.
This load is engineered for shooters running Winchester Model 94, Marlin, Henry, or similar lever-action rifles in .45 Colt who demand ammunition that feeds reliably and performs predictably. Lever-gun enthusiasts and hunters who have struggled with cycling issues or inconsistent performance from standard ammunition will find HammerDown loads address these core reliability and accuracy challenges. Each box contains 20 rounds, and there are 200 rounds in total per case.
