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.

Federal also co-developed the 7mm Backcountry with Christensen Arms, and its 7mm Backcountry ammunition uses a Peak Alloy steel case to reach magnum velocity from a short, lightweight hunting rifle.

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.

  • William said:

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

  • DK said:

    I recently got a S&W 380 and tried a few different types of ammo. The Federal 380 99 grain was the clear winner with me. Shoots consistently accurate with no flawed rounds. Will be my go to choice for this gun.

  • Matt said:

    Same as above! ????

  • 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.

    No performance complaints.

  • CM said:

    First time customer (of website and vendor), was really happy with their value, the way they shot and the quick arrival!

  • Patrick said:

    GOT IT QUICKLY ITS THE RIGHT AMOUNT JUST WHAT I ORDERED. PERFORMS WELL, NO MISFIRES SO FAR.

  • Josephine said:

    Not at the Federal level. God knows what kind of restrictions exist in some of the more helsilh SSR's, but here in Tennessee, your ammo purchases are restricted only by your bank acount and the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of your ride.

    Bought 500 rds. first mag, would not feed, S&W M&P, tried it in a Taurus 709 same thing, tried some in a hi-point 9mm, made it through the first mag then the second, hmm what;s up with this? third mag 2nd round no feed, 4th same. Sorry to say I wasted hard earned money on target and practice ammo I can't use. Don't buy.
