Federal Hammer Down 22LR 40gr CPHP 325rd Box/10 Case 22HAM

The Federal Hammer Down 22LR delivers consistent performance for lever-action rifles with its 40-grain copper plated hollow point design. This rimfire ammunition addresses feeding issues common in tubular magazine systems while maintaining reliable expansion on target.

What Makes This Different

The Hammer Down series features a flat nose profile specifically engineered for safe loading in tubular magazines found on lever-action rifles. Unlike standard pointed bullets that can cause primer strikes during recoil, the flat nose design eliminates this safety concern. The copper plated hollow point construction provides controlled expansion while the 40-grain weight delivers optimal velocity from rifle-length barrels.

Key Features

• 40-grain copper plated hollow point bullet for reliable expansion
• Flat nose profile prevents primer strikes in tubular magazines
• Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities from rifle barrels
• Copper plating reduces barrel fouling and extends accuracy
• 325 rounds per box with 10-box case configuration
• Standard velocity loading suitable for all 22LR firearms
• Brass cases sized for reliable extraction and feeding

Field testing shows consistent groupings at 50 yards with minimal velocity spread across temperature ranges. The ammunition cycles reliably through lever-action rifles including Winchester 94, Marlin 39A, and Henry models. The copper plated bullets maintain structural integrity through magazine springs while the hollow point cavity opens predictably on small game targets.
