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.

This ammo cycles great in my 1911- will definitely be buying more- also Glock 21 cycles it too
David said:
Have not had any issues working great
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.

I recommend this for anyone to use

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!!!!

Put about 80 of these through a Tac XD over the weekend. No jams, no misfires. All things considered, a pretty good round for the money.

I've had no issues with any of the ammo I have received from ammo.com. The .45 acp has performed flawlessly and delivery was easy, especially given I live in an unfree state
Christopher said:
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.
RL said:
Not a problem with this ammo. Would purchase again.
Lee said:
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.

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.
