Bullet Points: Federal Ammo

Federal Premium has come a long way from selling ammo in gas stations and grocery stores. What started out as a bicycle company has transformed into one of the best-selling ammunition companies in the world.
Federal is known for their premium ammo lines for rifles and shotguns, popular among those looking for self-defense and hunting rounds. Their Hydra-Shok pistol ammo continues to be one of their best-selling products.
They provided bulk ammunition for the U.S. military for WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam. The result of an aggressive marketing approach, their multi-million-dollar government contract continued throughout the latter decades of the 1900s.
The entire Federal line is manufactured out of their plant in Anoka, Minnesota – where more than 1,000 employees produce ammo for rifles, pistols, shotguns and rimfire weapons. Guard Dog ammunition is just one example of how they continue to innovate within the ammo market.
