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 manufactured XM193BL is pretty much a GOLD STANDARD round and it’s quality is well known. But my review is related to AMMO.COM and I just cannot say thank you enough! Virtually unbeatable price coupled with a commitment to helping veterans and gun advocates... and I got my order in less than 72 hours. Great Job! AMMO.COM is. Ow my first stop for all Caliber needs.

I have a Colt which is can be picky on ammo. I have never had a jam with this Federal 223 ammo. ammon.net was fast and great to work with. my only complaint is the current prices everywhere right now.

Hooter said:
Ammo is great shooting, clean, no problems. Shipping on time and great service. The recent worldwide increase in ammo prices are ridiculous. Not a lot you can do about it, though

Sandy said:
The ammo arrived on my birthday and it was the highlight of my day. My order was filled and sent to me so fast I was pleasantly surprised. The cartridges are of the highest quality, not musty surplus like some folks are selling. Very happy, thank you.

Retired Sarge said:
My first time using the rifle I used this ammo. On a 10 inch dirty bird target I was able to land consistent groupings .I was able to land 59 out of 60 rounds in the 9 ring or better. The order was shipped and I received it on the third day. Service is excellent.

I just bought a Windham AR 15 .223. Never shot an AR before this one. The Federal .223`s I bought from Ammo.com cycled and fired flawlessly. I will buy these rounds again.

Shot well from a Bushmaster m-4 and even better from a Savage Mod.10 heavy barrel. Pounding a spray paint can with every shot at 300 yards. Best price I've found for factory loaded rounds. Service was great. Arrived 3 days after order.

Willy said:
I have a Colt AR15, SP-1, which was the closest thing I could find to the M-16 I had in Vietnam. I also have a Ruger Mini-14 with a Bushnell red-dot. Both held their groups at 100 yards with this ammo. I shoot 5 shot 3" groups with both guns at that range on a bench without any support but my forearm. I shoot the SP-1 on a sandbag at 200 yards with the same group. The Ruger fall off badly at that range; gun's fault. Your ammo is fine. I can do better on the price but your service is good.

Chris said:
Shoots good for bulk ammo, a little waxy, so a few extra FTFs. You will have to keep up with cleaning your firearm each time or wipe down ammo before loading magazines

Bill said:
No misfires. Very accurate for a 22.
-
Robert said:
Grandson used this brand on his third time shooting his new Goat-15 and destroyed the center of the target. And when I say his his third time he has only shot a firearm three times and from day one he was drilling the target good and this brand has been consistent and actually fewer feed issues than CCI, actually only one feed issue vs CCI had more than five.i also feel it is a bit more accurate and kept the group tighter than CCi. At price and good quality this will stay my go to for his ammo.

Jason said:
Shot great, never jammed all around great ammo.

Froggo said:
I have shot the entire box of these with zero malfunctions. All my 22 pistols - even the finicky Firefly & Bersa Thunder eat it up. Great stuff!
-
red said:
bought to cover me in case we can't get anymore do till i can get some more in case of zombies, not to just casually shoot
-
CowwFace said:
Bought 1000 rounds of this to take to the range. We went through about 100 rounds in 2 AR's and zero duds. Perfect feeding, no jamming in either rifle. Using Red Dot sights hit what you pointed the dangerous end at. I would highly recommend this ammo. Tractor on

Quality product

Henry said:
The round performed better than expected for a bulk low grain. High percentage of sure fire even after 100 rounds into session. The value was good and I would recommend this product for routine practice shooting.

Izzy said:
I live in a rocky desert terrain and any ball rounds will bounce and make that noise we all know after a ricochet has occurred. These hollow point round explode on impact when hitting a rock or even the hard ground but blow the guts out of any rabbit it hits. When trying to reduce ricochets and kill rabbits, the Federal hollows are my favorite. A quality round where a box of 550 might have less than a handful that fail to fire. Easy to load in a magazine, tube or revolver. Great for plinking and target practice. A must have for novice and experts a like.

Bought a fairly new Mossberg 702 Plinkster Bought 500 rounds of various ammo to test. Had no issues with this box, it was cheap and as accurate as any other in this cheap gun. Had some jamming issues with another brand, not with this stuff.

Cost twice as much as other brands. No difference in accuracy at 25 yards from a benchrest than the cheap stuff thru my new Mossberg 702 Plinkster . This did not jam, but neither did 8 other brands/models. all much cheaper.

I have had a chance to use a few of the rounds, and am happy with the performance. No jams, and true flight.

Lark said:
I have went thru about 200 rounds so far. Tight groups and no problems whatsoever. I have been trying out different ammo for different AR's. I typically buy 1,000--2,000 rounds at a time. I try to keep the cost as close to 40 cents per round as I can get. This was 57.5 cents per round (but I wanted to give it a try). Again, nothing bad to say about this ammo--but the price will probably keep me from ordering more. Also--I prefer 62 grain (75 and 77 grain would be my top choices, but (usually) the cost is prohibitive). Very good ammo.

This is one of the best .22 ammo I have used. It runs great in our 10/22's and our tx22's.

Fwank said:
Lots of duds, sometimes 3%+. Very inconsistent velocities if you chrono them, but you don't need a chrono to feel the difference in recoil from shot to shot, or hear the very different sound of the report from shot to shot. Expect lots of practice clearing every type of malfunction, failure to feed, failure to extract, failure to eject. And they're also really, really dirty. I have one .22 pistol that sometimes keyholes, but only with Automatch. It's just that bad. On the plus side, I get even more duds and even more malfunctions of every kind with Remington and Winchester bulk pack. Additionally I've never had a case head rupture or a split case with any Federal product. That's more than I can say for Winchester. I've even had case heads rupture with the expensive Winchester Super-X that comes in the plastic trays. Look, this is the cheap stuff. It's floor sweepings. You knew this going in. It's good enough for plinking, but keep a cleaning rod with you in case you get a dud stuck in the bore. You will get lots of practice clearing malfunctions. Maybe if you shoot them in a revolver or a manually operated repeating rifle they aren't so bad, but all my .22s are semiauto. Despite the name--hey Federal, is it a joke? it's not very funny--Automatch makes every one of them choke and puke, the 10/22, the Mk. III pistol, the Henry AR7, the Kel-Tec P17, every one of them. It's garbage. And I keep buying it, because I'm not going to buy the expensive stuff, not when all I do is plink, maybe practice some point-shooting.

Easy to order online. I get it 5-7 days; I live in NJ. Ammo always fires, no duds. I also like the history of the bullet and caliber, how it came to be. This is the only place I get my ammo from.

They worked great with my gsg16. No jams or double feeding. The box came a little dirty but nothing major.

This has been the only ammo my Sig P322 will consistently shoot. 975 rounds in a day with very few issues.

BlackHawkDon said:
After only a few dozen rounds, I find this to be an excellent range and critter control ammo. No problems as yet. Look forward to using this shipment so I can go with another order. Oh, this order arrived as scheduled and in great condition.

Vincent said:
Bought several different boxes of 22 LR to try out at the range for 3 different guns. All three cycled the others like a champ. All three never went more than 3 shots without having to clear these. I had no issues with the Federal 36 Grain CPHP Ammunition, but these were nothing but trouble. Will never buy them again.

Matthew said:
The Ammo is great, but the one hitch in my "Giddy-up" is: The ammo on the website reads "FMJ-BT", but what showed up at my door was regular FMJ. I'll still shoot it, but I'll be wary, before I order from here.

Excellent .357 sig ammo. Accurate range ammo.
-
Rob said:
The 357 SIG ammo was great it handled and fired as expected every time. No mishaps and all rounds mostly hit the target every time unless I interfered... LOL Have recommend this product and your delivery to other friends...
-
spike said:
Ammo arrived promptly and performed as expected.
-
Sam said:
I feel that due to the few numbers per capita of the .357 Sig guns, the demand isn't so high which makes even the practice loads high in comparison to o ther calibers. This ammo shoots very well and is close to my carry load (Gold Dot) in felt recoil. Over all very good and I will buy more later. Cheers, Sam

Freddy said:
Better then I excepted. Quick delivery, at a great price. Not one fault. Will be using again in the future. Keep up the good work guys.

Pogo said:
Consistent sub MOA groups with a Fulton Armory AR-15 A2, SS match barrel 1:9 twist. Compared to similar match loads by Black Hills, Remington and Hornady; factor of 2 improvement on accuracy with this Federal ammo. Ammo.com get more of this into stock!

USMC1 said:
I have tried a number of rounds from flat base hollow point to ballistic tip's but I was not satisfied with the results. So, I tried the 69 grain BTHP match, I was very pleased with the results, much more consistent, however purchasing massed produced ammo for accuracy is not the way to go. If you shoot a lot, reloading your own ammo is the best way to ensure that every round is the same. I feel the value of the ammo is about average in cost. What I paid for the 40 rounds from ammo net including shipping I could buy the same at a local store, so not really a savings.
