ANOKA, Minnesota - January 19, 2021 - On Target magazine recently recognized Federal’s HammerDown product line with an Editors’ Choice Award for best new ammunition for 2020, as part of the magazine’s annual awards program. This full line of ammunition features molecularly bonded hunting bullets designed with velocities for optimal cycling and overall ballistic performance in lever-action rifles.

“These awards are reserved for the best-of-the-best new products which demonstrate outstanding technical achievement and/or represent an extraordinary value for the money,” said On Target Magazine Editor Ben Battles. “For fans of lever-action rifles, the new Federal HammerDown lever gun ammunition—engineered to produce superior ballistics, terminal performance and accuracy out of your favorite pistol- or rifle-chambered lever gun—raised the bar for the level of performance you can expect out of this iconic rifle design. It’s slick performance easily earned it the award.”

“In 2020, we announced new HammerDown in five of the most popular lever-action loads including traditional pistol cartridges such as 357 Magnum, 327 Federal and 44 Rem. Magnum, tuned for outstanding performance out of hunting rifles. This year, we will expand on the lineup by offering the classic cartridges of 35 Rem. and 444 Marlin,” said Federal Centerfire Product Director Mike Holm. “We are honored to have On Target editors recognize HammerDown and were very encouraged by the tremendous response from consumers on this product line.”
