The Federal HammerDown 35 Remington 220gr Bonded Hollow Point delivers maximum energy transfer and deep penetration for lever-action hunting rifles. This premium ammunition features Federal's bonded construction that prevents jacket separation while maintaining weight retention through tough game.
What Makes This Different
Federal's bonded hollow point design creates a controlled expansion pattern that outperforms standard cup-and-core bullets. The molecular bonding process eliminates jacket separation issues common with high-velocity impacts. Velocities reach 2020 fps from 20-inch barrels, generating 1993 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. The flat-nose profile feeds reliably through tubular magazines while maximizing terminal ballistics.
Key Features
- 220-grain bonded hollow point bullet with controlled expansion
- Optimized powder charge for consistent 2020 fps velocity
- Flat-nose design safe for tubular magazine storage
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Federal Gold Medal primers ensure reliable ignition
- Weight retention exceeds 85% through heavy bone and tissue
- Compatible with all 35 Remington chamber specifications
Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy from popular lever guns including Marlin 336 and Henry Big Boy models. The 220-grain weight provides sufficient sectional density for elk and black bear while remaining effective on whitetail deer. Consistent powder charges produce tight velocity spreads under 25 fps, contributing to predictable trajectories out to 200 yards. The bonded construction maintains structural integrity through heavy brush and bone contact.
