What is Federal Hammerdown Ammo?
I shot weights in .30-30 for the win. And the .45-70 government loads were based on our already established hunting loads designed for rifles. However, the Federal started from scratch with handgun calibers. Compared to shorter handgun barrels, these had to be drastically adjusted to handle the higher velocities possible when firing through a rifle barrel. For this, the Federal used heavy bullets. The increased bullet weight better withstands the higher rates of longer rifle barrels and helps provide greater penetration depth on impact. Examples of these stronger bullets include: the .357 Magnum bullet is 170 grains compared to 158 grains, and the .44 Rem. M.Sc. is 270 grains compared to 240 grains, and the .45 Colt is 250 grains compared to 225 grains. These comparisons are made using the Federal’s existing hunting handgun loads.
