Description
The Federal Premium HammerDown in 444 Marlin is a purpose-built hunting load engineered specifically for lever-action rifles. Federal built the HammerDown line around the realities of tubular magazines and side gate loading, outfitting each cartridge with a modified, chamfered case that feeds smoothly and reliably without the hang-ups common to standard straight-wall rifle ammunition. The result is flawless cycling in classic American lever guns chambered for the powerful 444 Marlin.
At the heart of this load is a 270 grain bonded hollow point bullet, designed to expand consistently and penetrate deeply on medium to large game. Federal pairs the projectile with nickel-plated brass for corrosion resistance and smoother extraction, and drives it to a muzzle velocity of 2225 fps producing 2968 ft lbs of muzzle energy. The straight-wall 444 Marlin case delivers magnum-class ballistics in a cartridge that handles like a familiar lever-action round.
Whether you are working a lever-action rifle through heavy cover or pursuing larger game in open country, the HammerDown delivers the accuracy, terminal performance, and reliable feeding that lever-action hunters demand.
