Federal Ammo For Sale
Overview of Federal Ammo
Federal Ammunition began in 1916 in Anoka, Minnesota, originally manufacturing ammo and bicycles. Under Charles L. Horn's leadership from 1922, Federal grew into a renowned ammunition brand. Horn's innovative marketing and commitment to quality helped secure contracts during WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, solidifying Federal's role in military supply.
One of the company’s most trusted modern defensive offerings is Federal HST 9mm ammo, built for consistent expansion and reliability.
Federal's Product Innovation
Federal offers a comprehensive catalog of centerfire, rimfire, and shotshell ammo, with its American Eagle line covering everyday range staples like 38 Super ammo. The company pioneered conservation efforts, including supporting 4-H programs and advocating for the Pittman-Robertson Act, which continues to fund wildlife restoration through ammunition excise taxes.
Federal's Varmint & Predator line reflects the company's commitment to wildlife management, offering hunters high-performance .22-250 ammo loaded with V-MAX and Nosler Ballistic Tip projectiles for long-range accuracy on coyotes and other predators.
Modern Manufacturing
Federal's Anoka facility has expanded from its modest beginnings to over 500,000 square feet, producing a wide range of ammo for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement. Innovations like Hydra-Shok self-defense rounds and American Eagle Syntech polymer-coated bullets highlight Federal's commitment to quality and performance. Federal's dedication to defensive ammunition extends to rimfire cartridges—read our Federal Punch 22 WMR review to see how their backup gun ammunition performs in real-world testing.
Awards and Recognition
Federal has received numerous accolades, including Game & Fish Readers’ Choice Awards and the NRA’s Golden Bullseye. The company remains a trusted name for shooters across the globe.

Mark said:
The ammo seems to run fine only ran 100 rounds thru it. But in that 100 rounds I found 6 hmr rounds that were mixed in it. Although not a major problem with these two but I paid for 22wmr not 17...

Shooting these rounds at the range made a mess out of my guns. Thinking it was the gun, I brought a second one to the range the following week. Brass particles were left in both guns, making them impossible to clean. Federal wants to remain blameless. The batch number in the boxes are: K472PP2. STAY AWAY !

FEDERAL AND CENTURION 2 3/4" HP SLUGS SHOOT EXACTLY THE SAME! CENTURION IS CHEAPER AND CANNOT BE FOUND. FEDERAL 2 3/4" HP SLUGS WILL KILL DEER UP TO 110 YARDS. IF YOU WISH TO IMPROVE ACCURACY THEN GET YOUR BARREL CRYOED AT 300BELOW.COM. I'VE HAD MY GUNS AND KNIVES CRYOED THERE FOR 30 YEARS AND I'VE NEVER HAD A BAD RESULT! I CAN PUT THE FIRST 2 SLUGS IN TE SAME HOLE SHOOTING FREEHAND. THE THIRD IS 2"S TO THE RIGHT OF THE SECOND SHOT.
