About Federal Ammo

Federal Ammo Buying Guide

Federal Range Ammo

If you're shopping for range rounds, Federal's American Eagle line-up of ammo is among the most respected in the world. These rounds are full metal jacket ammo designed for cost-effective training - that means the bullets aren't designed to expand when they come in contact with a soft target.

Federal Self-Defense Ammo

On the self-defense side, you'll find hundreds, if not thousands of law enforcement agencies that rely on Federal HST rounds as their carry ammo. Equipped with one of the most sophisticated bullets on the planet that expands reliably upon contact with a soft target, HSTs are among our top choices for concealed carry and self-defense. Federal's Punch and Hydra-Shok lines are also solid choices if you're shopping for a hollow point round designed to neutralize a threat. In fact, we lined up Federal HST vs Federal Punch ammo in a recent blog article you can see here.

Federal Match Ammo

Federal's Gold Medal Match is one of the most sought after commercially loaded match rounds out there. Our customers point to 1-inch groups at 200 yards away as proof this ammo is about as good as it gets for match shooters that don't want to handload their own ammo.

Federal's Background & History

Federal Premium Ammunition is one of the largest and most comprehensive ammunition manufacturers on the planet. The company has a bunch of brands you've probably heard of. That popularity comes as a result of consistent quality. After generations, the innovative company has a strong reputation among hunters, target shooters, and self-defense gun owners.

Federal is based out of Anoka, Minnesota, where they employ nearly 1,400 workers at a facility that holds half a million square feet of workspace.

The company was founded in 1922 by Charles L. Horn, who put a particular emphasis on quality and service. It was originally called the Federal Cartridge Company and produced many different products, including shotgun shells. In 1951, the company introduced centerfire primers to their lineup.

By 1960, Federal was color-coding their shotgun ammunition. They were the first ammo manufacturer to color-code their products, a practice that is now widely used throughout the industry. Another innovation came in 1973, when Federal became the first ammunition company to manufacture shells with steel shot.

In 1977, “Premium” centerfire rifle cartridges were introduces by the company, launching the Premium brand for Federal. In 2002, they would officially change the name of the entire company to Federal Premium Ammunition, displaying their commitment to top-quality cartridges and reloading supplies.

One of Federal’s proudest moments was when their “Gold Medal” load helped Team USA win three Olympic medals at the 1996 games in Atlanta.

Federal has always been a company involved in outdoor habitat and conservation. As an example of the company’s consistent commitment to the outdoors, Federal has been a long-time partner with the National Wild Turkey Federation, as well as Pheasants Forever.

In 1937, they even participated in a self-imposed excise tax on ammunition and firearms, an effort that raised billions of dollars for wildlife habitat. By 2014, the company had sold 40 million Pheasants Forever special-edition shotshell, an effort that supported organization directly.
