Federal Premium ammo is proof that Minnesotans do more than fish, ice fish, and elect pro wrestlers for governor. Federal is over a century old and headquartered in Anoka (the Halloween Capital<\/a> of the World). Not only is Federal one of the most well-respected ammo manufacturers, but it is also one of the world\u2019s largest. They churn out millions of rounds each month, including Federal 22LR ammo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Federal Rimfire History<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Federal\u2019s rimfire game is also strong. It\u2019s been that way since Charles L. Horn assumed control of the operation in 1922. He implemented a plan to begin stocking 22 LR and other fine cartridges in grocery stores, barbershops, and gas stations.\u00a0<\/span> We hope America will again become a civilized country where you can buy ammo in the same place you get your hair cut, but we aren\u2019t holding our breath. At least we have <\/span>Federal\u2019s wide range<\/span> of 22 LR labels to keep us occupied in the meantime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

American Eagle<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\"a

The American Eagle line offers affordable performance with quality bullets, brass, and consistant primers.<\/p><\/div>\n

This is Federal\u2019s line of tried-and-true all-purpose target shooting ammo. They have plated and non-plated hollow point and round nose bullets, sensitive noncorrosive rimfire primers, clean-burning propellant, and pin-straight brass cases. American Eagle is always a safe bet for derringers, pistols, revolvers, rifles, carbines, AR-22s, and any other 22 LR hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n

American Eagle Suppressor rounds are sub-sonic, eliminating the super-sonic \u201ccrack\u201d suppressors can\u2019t silence.<\/p><\/div>\n

While the 22LR isn\u2019t famous for its ear-shattering report, sometimes you want subtle performance while training or teaching squirrels not to mess with your stuff. <\/span>American Eagle Suppressor 22 LR<\/span><\/a> utilizes heavyweight bullets to produce muzzle velocities significantly lower than the speed of sound. This performance helps a suppressor do its job more effectively. It guarantees a quieter report even if you don\u2019t have a \u201ccan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Federal Champion 22lr ammo is for plinking, targets, competition, and training.<\/p><\/div>\n

This ammo exhibits the same quality and reliability you should expect from Federal\u2019s American Eagle series range loads. Choose from plenty of supersonic loads with LRN, LHP, and CPHP bullets. AR enthusiasts especially like Champion Training AutoMatch, specifically designed to promote optimal functionality in AR-22 platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BYOB\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Are you sick and tired of 22 LR that comes in boxes? Join the revolution and get some Federal BYOB ammo, which comes in big plastic jars and tubs! It\u2019s really just Federal\u2019s Champion series ammunition in more eye-catching packaging. Still, there\u2019s something immensely satisfying about accessing several hundred rounds of 22 LR as easily as opening a jar of pickles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gold Medal features precision bullets and tight tolerances ensuring peak performance and consistency.<\/p><\/div>\n

Federal has competitive target shooters covered with their aptly named Gold Medal series ammo. Its high-quality components include the rotationally stable and highly consistent LRN bullets discerning target shooters prefer. It also exhibits the impressively tight tolerances that only come from decades of experience and Federal\u2019s characteristically meticulous attention to detail. Sadly, the <\/span>Gold Medal series 22 LR<\/span> does not come packaged in plastic jars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal Defense Punch\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Federal Personal Defense Punch features a nickel-plated lead-core bullet which is designed for self-defense applications.<\/p><\/div>\n

The 22 LR is arguably not the best cartridge for self-defense. But if that\u2019s what you\u2019re most comfortable carrying and firing during a hectic life-or-death scenario, then <\/span>Federal\u2019s Punch ammo<\/span><\/a> has you covered. This premium round\u2019s bullet is a nickel-plated flat nose that can\u2019t undergo terminal expansion. Its terminal performance is focused on achieving the deepest penetration possible. Increasing the likelihood that the bullet will pierce one of the threat\u2019s vital organs. This round\u2019s lightweight bullet is also exceptionally fast: 1,070 fps out of a 2\u201d barrel or 1,650 fps out of a 24-incher.<\/span><\/p>\n
