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.

Shot 2" groups at 50 yds. Fun for range day and hitting melons. Not super expensive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When I bought a used Mossberg-manufactured12ga fully rifled slug barrel for my Remington 870, I bought several different brands and loadings of slugs to pattern from the bench. These slugs shot the tightest groups of ANY I tried, had manageable recoil and were among the least expensive per round. I had Brenneke-style slugs, plain rifled Foster unsaboted slugs, as well as a couple of the newer saboted, all copper and copper hollow-point types costing $3-$4 or more per round. Some 2 3/4" and some 3". I see no reason to sue any other brand or load in my particular shotgun.

Dave said:
Reviewed alot of u tube videos regarding this ammo. I purchased 12ga and 20ga and both performed flawlessly out of my mossberg 590 and sa 20 guns. The pattern itself is perfect for what I want in a home defense round. 10yds 1" - 1-1/4" , 20 yds 3" - 3-1/2", 40 yds 9"- 10" pattern. No fliers. Very impressive ammo.

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

Daddy d said:
Okay, first I will just say I ordered one thousand rounds after doing multiple different tests on this round. I found it to expand over .85" with the biggest one expanding just over an inch. Out of all the premium rounds and the generic rounds on the market for non-bonded hollow points in 45, this had the best performance every....single...time. Not to mention it has light recoil. I found its recoil to be on par with steel cased wolf or tulammo. It fed smooth in my glocks, 1911s and even in my tommy gun. I say buy it. Get it and thank ammo.com for this terrific product. I sure do

Shot 14 rounds so far to verify cycling. No issues. Will consider this for a carry round. Market is hard and expensive right now.
