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.

Rob said:
Value was not great. Over $.50/rnd after tax and shipping. Shot 200 of the 500 so far. Performance is flawless from the G21. Quality is very good and no complaints for its intended purpose, the range. I don’t expect any issues from Federal ammo. I will be buying more when these are gone.

Larry said:
This has been my choice for range ammo for my S&W Bodyguard 2.0. I’ve never had a ftf in the over 500 rounds through this new gun. And the speed of service from Ammo.com is outstanding.
-
Larry said:
I’ve put 400 rounds through my Bodyguard 2.0 without a single issue. This Federal ammo is what I now use on all my range visits. My worries about this flat nose round feeding properly were definitely wrong. Add that to the quick shipping I get from Ammo.com and I’m one happy shooter!

Meatball said:
I have an old Llama gabilondo cia in 380acp. As it aged it began to stovepipe rounds. I replaced the spring and rebuilt the magazines and the sickness went away. The Federal rounds work very well in this gun. Very pleased.
-
Rick said:
Purchased 50 rounds, but have only shot 18 so far. I've had no problems at all. Shoots nice and clean, and no duds. I love the federal ammo so far. My only knock was on the value....which I dropped down 1 notch. The price for the 50 round box is awesome, but the shipping and handling hurt the value...still when you can't find the ammo you are looking for locally, the shipping and handling isn't much of an issue. Thank You Ammo.com!!!!

bought for carry ammo so only shot afew.

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.

Donald said:
We used 1 box on re-active targets and were greatly impressed. They really smack hard!
-
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.

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.

Good value for the dollar

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.

Feeds great, no issues, buying by bulk is a great savings with above average performance.

Works great

Al said:
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 !

I like the ammo, but not the rising cost of the ammo. No misfires on the ammo in over 500 rounds shot thus far.

zinger30-06 said:
This ammo was purchased for range use. I shoot on average 100 rounds per session at least once a week. I was pleasently surprised at the peformance of the round. I fired 25 rounds at one target and then 25 at a second target. Folded them over each other and the groupings were a close match. My carry pistol is a Colt Defender 1911 and this is perfect practice ammo. I will continue to purchase as it becomes available.
-
Louis said:
Great ammo with high quality brass, also has large pistol primer if you are interested in reloading. As far as value goes, given the recently inflated prices that accompany such high demand all ammo has become too pricey. That having been said, in relative terms it is a great value. It is my go to ammo for practicing.
-
Louis said:
This is reliable, clean burning consistent ammo. It cycles perfectly and there were no malfunctions in either my XDM or my Kimber 1911 super carry ultra. It has high quality reloadable brass with large pistol primers. When available this is my go to ammo.
-
Practice said:
Just purchased this for 1911 range time. Shoots fine through a couple hundred rounds so far with no goofups. Market is up right now so that'll explain overall cost. I'd buy more when the time comes.
-
Daniel said:
These were the first rounds I put through my new 1911 . 200 rounds on the first day , no mis feeds or odd ejection. Everything went as well as could be expected.
-
Doug said:
I am VERY picky about the ammo I buy. I'm looking for foot pounds of energy. As I understand it, Federal loads their American Eagle to the same specs as their self defense ammo. That's why I buy it.

Mike said:
This is great ammo for Self Defense, this will get the job done. Using solid guns like Kimber in 45 & 10mm, I was able to achieve a level of accuracy at 25 yards with this ammo that I haven't been able to do since my Army days. Firing many 3 round groups at 25 yards, All shots could fit inside the circumference of a Quarter, actually the shots on the target touched and overlapped each other, nice mushrooms, 0 malfunctions and seeing some expand to over an inch, I decided to change over and make this my first "go to" ammo. Thank you Ammo.com
