Federal Ammo
Federal: Premium Ammunition
The Federal Premium lineup of shotshells and cartridges may be the industry’s most diverse. Whether you’re a waterfowler, big-game hunter, weekend clay buster, carry for self-defense or addicted to long-range, the company has a load tailored for you.
Federal is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of sporting ammunition today. Shooters know its products are reliable and perform—facts that have allowed the company to thrive for nearly 100 years. The longevity and reputation seemed far from certain in the beginning, though.
There’s no denying the company was founded, and remains headquartered, in Anoka, MN, although opinions differ as to the people—or person—and precise date that should be cited. Federal Cartridge and Machine Company was established on Sept. 15, 1916, Federal Cartridge Company came in 1918 and Federal Cartridge Corporation followed in 1922.
Federal Ammunition History
Brothers Louis and Harry Sherman, who both had experience working in the ammo industry, were behind the initial 1916 effort. Their intent was to produce shotshells and bicycles. The owners hoped to land a lucrative military ammo contract during World War I, but two-wheelers remained on the schedule—a distraction that may have contributed to the company’s lack of success.
The first shotshell came off the assembly line in January 1917, but it did little to aid the fledgling business. Reorganization under the Federal Cartridge Company name came the next year. The Sherman brothers abandoned most of the management duties to the staff shortly thereafter and bankruptcy followed in 1920.
Rebirth Of Greatness
A group of local investors purchased the machinery and plant in 1922 and named the company Federal Cartridge Corporation. Charles L. Horn, a law degree-holding manager who had worked at American Ball and Shot in Minneapolis, was hired to resurrect the business. The company’s official history labels it a “refounding,” although that’s gross understatement considering Horn’s vision and ability to make it a reality.
The bicycle scheme was abandoned. Shotshell manufacturing was the sole focus, although part of Horn’s success was an ability to pedal the company’s wares in unusual places. In 1923 he built a distribution system that included grocery stores, barber shops and gas stations—an approach forced partly because the larger manufacturers had exclusive contracts with traditional retailers.
Sales were strong and Horn knew shotshells weren’t the only game in town. To expand the line, Federal purchased American Cartridge Company in 1924—at the time-based in Kansas City, MO—and moved production and machinery Minnesota. Rimfire cartridges were soon being sold under the Federal name.
History of Ammunition Innovation
By 1928 Federal’s ability to innovate became apparent. That year it offered loads with non-corrosive primers. Copper-coated .22 bullets followed in 1931 and the following year Federal offered high-velocity loads. In 1937 it brought a new bullet design to market, one aerodynamically tuned to reduce drag and improve accuracy—the company called it “Airlines.”
The concept is foreign to modern shooters, but shotshell were one made in a variety of colors—depending on manufacturer and supply—regardless of size, until 1960. That’s when Federal introduced a safety-enhancing color-code that has become industry standard. In 1973 the company was the first to introduce steel shot. Along the way the company has developed many of the innovations we rely on today, and most recently introduced the high-performance .224 Valkyrie in 2018—with a projectile that maintains supersonic speed past 1,300 yards.
The cutting-edge products coming out of the company’s research and development team may get the headlines, but the forward-thinking approach is standard-operating procedure in every department. Federal Premium’s history of helping non-profit organizations, for example, began in 1934. Despite the Great Depression and the fact that most profitable corporations ignored worthwhile causes, Federal defied the trend and became the first nationwide sponsor of 4-H camps. Since then it has helped the conservation efforts of the National Wild Turkey Federation, National Rifle Association, Ducks Unlimited, Safari Club International and many others.
Introductions & Changes
Federal didn’t manufacture its first centerfire rifle and handgun cartridges until 1963. The familiar Federal Premium line hit the shelves in 1977, the same year Charles Horn retired. His son, William, took over the helm and spearheaded many of the efforts that kept Federal one of the industry’s foremost leaders.
In 1985 Federal was sold to a group of investors. It later passed through the hands of Blount, Lehman Brothers and finally found a home in defense-industry legend Alliant Techsystems (ATK).
Today it’s part of Vista Outdoor, the ATK sporting group of companies that was spun off into a separate entity in 2015. Better mission focus was one of the reasons for the amicable separation, and the added concentration on the needs of civilian shooters shows in Federal’s current lineup.
Federal Premium HST
Federal is deadly serious about the performance of its self-defense ammunition, and the dedication is on display in its relatively new HST line. The hollow-point bullet is designed to reduce or eliminate clogging as it passes through intermediate barriers, yet reliably expand on impact and retain weight. Overpenetration is minimized while fight-stopping power is retained. Add the nickel case, bullet profile tuned to avoid feeding problems with Federal’s unique primer and it makes for the kind reliable load needed for carry or home defense. Owners of .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 10 mm, .38 Spl. and .380 ACP handguns will want to take a close look at these loads.
Federal Premium Hydra-Shok
Hydra-Shok first hit the market in 1989, and it’s never surrendered its position as one of the premier self-defense cartridges. The unmistakable-looking bullet is a hollow-point, with a center post that aids in reliable expansion and weight retention. It’s available for a variety of handgun chamberings.
Federal Gold Medal Match
Combine Federal’s the near century of cartridge-tuning knowledge with the bullet-making wizardry at Sierra Bullets and you have the MatchKing. If you want to put those calipers to use on targets further than 100 yards—without hours behind a reloading press—look no further.
Federal Premium Sierra GameKing
Hunters need to deliver clean and ethical, one-shot stops, and these loads improve the ability to do so. Loaded with the Sierra Bullets line of soft-point GameKings, they deliver the exterior ballistics required to hit and target and all the expansion needed to fill that tag.
Federal Premium Prairie Storm
Federal was the first company to produce a shotshell designed for a specific hunting pursuit. It was turkey at first, but its Prairie Storm continues the tradition with 2 3/4- and 3-inch loads in different gauges, all tailored for upland bird hunters.
Federal American Eagle
And high-volume shooters aren’t ignored by Federal. Its pocketbook-friendly American Eagle line is available in a variety of different chamberings and loads. Whether your practicing or competing with a handgun or rifle, the odds are good you’ll find an American Eagle product to cover your needs.

You’ve obviously got both, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want proper good ammo while you’re showing people how things are done. Federal’s Top Gun Sporting label ammunition is specifically developed for sporting clays – “golf with a shotgun,” as it is known, because playing actual golf with a shotgun would be difficult and highly illegal – but it’s a great selection for skeet, trap, and even nailing varmints, too!
This shell is loaded with half an ounce of Federal’s deformation resistant and highly spherical #7.5 lead shot. Striking moving targets in midair is extremely difficult, but this shell helps to even the odds with its lightning-fast 1,330 fps muzzle velocity. You’ll benefit from shorter lead times!
Federal’s wad design and powder formula are both optimized to reduce felt recoil. The 410 is hardly a shell that’s going to knock you out of your sneakers to begin with, but you’ll appreciate how well this gentle shell prevents fatigue. The great Minnesotan maker’s primer doesn’t let you down in the middle of a bout, and their 2-1/2” hull makes a great reloading component once you have freed it of its contents. -

These features guarantee wide, threat-dropping expansion on impact even at lower velocities from short-barreled pocket pistols. In addition, Hi-Shok cartridges have a cannelure midway down the casing which prevents bullet setback caused by repeat chambering; this increases the longevity of your carry ammo as you unload your pistol for practice sessions.
Widener's also carries a wide range of .45 ACP practice ammunition as well as these very same Hi-Shok rounds in bulk for all of your CCW concerns.

This round also offers a factory fresh brass casing which is ideal for handloading, a non-corrosive primer which is reliable enough to guarantee a shot with every trigger pull, and clean burning propellant which will spare your bore and action from becoming encrusted with caustic residues.

This 10mm ammo boasts impressively clean performance and presents a safer way to train at ranges with steel targets or hard backdrops. That’s the magic of the Total Synthetic Jacket!
This round’s 205 grain bullet has a traditional lead core. But instead of copper alloy, its jacket is made of polymer. That makes the TSJ incapable of producing lead fouling and copper fouling alike, which will have the effect of keeping your firearm’s bore significantly cleaner throughout the duration of your range session. The TSJ also vastly reduces friction – aka the force which wears out a barrel!
The TSJ’s polymer jacket is incapable of ricocheting once the bullet has struck a hard surface. You can take confidence knowing that this ammo virtually eliminates the risk of dangerous splash-back! The TSJ’s jacket also fully encapsulates its core to prevent vaporization of lead during ignition. Even this ammo’s Catalyst primers are lead-free, which will keep the air surrounding you far cleaner while you’re becoming a more competent marksman.
This ammo is loaded with Federal’s high-quality Boxer-primed brass cases. They’re sure to pass efficiently through any semi-auto, and they are also reloadable. -

Doing so is the most effective way to familiarize yourself with every subtlety of that ammo’s performance – and you certainly don’t want any surprises in store when you only have a split second to react to an assault.
Enter Federal’s Train + Protect line of ammunition. This 45 ACP ammo is not so highly priced that you would regret firing it at the range, yet it is still a suitable choice for self-defense. That’s thanks to this round’s versatile hollow point bullet. It is an uncomplicated jacketed hollow point, and it is furthermore steel-free and nonmagnetic so you may fire it at any commercial range. And because the VHP features a notched copper-alloy jacket and deep hollow point nose cavity, it reliably expands outward during penetration to produce a wide wound channel while simultaneously reducing the risk of potentially catastrophic over-penetration.
Federal loads the fine reloadable brass cases, sensitive Boxer primers and uniform propellant charges which dependable performance in a semi-automatic firearm demands. This 230 grain round’s 850 fps muzzle velocity was recorded with a 5” test barrel. -

We call them “our favorite dudes,” because we get to sell them Federal Premium Top Gun by the case.
That’s right! One of the Midwest’s greatest ammunition manufacturers designed this 410 shell specifically for the great sport of sporting clays. Don’t fret if you want to shoot trap or skeet – and maybe take a crack or two at small game in between range days. This handy shell does it all (with obvious exceptions for medium game and personal protection).
This 2-1/2” long shell’s 1/2 ounce payload of #8 shot equals 205 pellets total. Not as much as you’d get out of a 12 or a 20, but still plenty effective thanks to the hard lead shot pellets’ ability to stay round under pressure, pattern efficiently, and put more holes through the target. The shell’s chipper 1,330 fps muzzle velocity is super helpful, as it provides a relatively flat trajectory, short lead time, and hard punch on impact.

$39.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 125 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 50 Ammo Caliber 357 Magnum Manufacturer SKU TP357VHP1 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544656213 Cost Per Round 79.7¢ per round Federal’s Train + Protect series ammunition provides an affordable method for practicing with the same rounds you would use for self-defense. If your lifeline is a 357 Magnum revolver, here’s your chance to train the same way you’d fight!
Federal calls this round’s bullet the “Versatile Hollow Point.” It is a normal enough jacketed hollow point, with a nose cavity to provide terminal expansion and a jacket to ensure deeper penetration. The jacket doesn’t extend all the way to the bullet’s rim, which helps the JHP undergo expansion at lower velocities. Even if the JHP fails to expand at all, its flat nose profile would do a great deal of soft tissue damage on its own. The 125 grain bullet’s 1,440 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4” vented barrel translates to over 500 ft lbs of energy at close range – certainly a powerful enough punch to subdue the threat in one blow.
Federal’s high-quality (and Minnesota-made) brass cases are as smooth-feeding as they are reloadable. You may also fire this nonmagnetic and noncorrosive ammo in a lever-action rifle without issue. -

The Wideners team are great!
As far as the ammunition, as far as I am concerned there is no better personal defense ammo in any caliber than Federal HST. More and more law enforcement agencies are adopting this format. That in itself is enough to know it performs when needed and possibly a critical point when you are scrutinized when you have to use it. All of my carry weapons are loaded with HST rounds .

Dealing with the folks at Widener’s was a pleasure.I was looking for LE grade .223 Ammo which other dealers simply didn’t have. Widener’s website indicated their stock supply was good which a telephone call to them confirmed. The order was placed on a Saturday, and the following Monday afternoon the Fed Ex delivery person walked up on my front porch with my order! I will certainly use Wideners again for my future ammunition needs. Great folks!

Federal Syntech Defense 9mm 138 Grain SHP – 20 Rounds
$18.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 138 Grain Bullet Type Segmented Hollow Point (SHP) Use Type home defense, Subsonic Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU S9SJT1 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544651072 Cost Per Round 94.2¢ per round You want your self-defense load to be two things: good for you and your your weapon, and bad for whomever poses a threat to you. This 9mm cartridge from Federal’s premium Syntech Defense label checks both of those boxes in bold, red ink.
This round’s 138 grain projectile wears a polymer jacket, so it will neither cake your firearm’s bore in metal residue that would loosen its accuracy nor create as much friction in its barrel as a traditional bullet could. Were you to exclusively run the Syntech jacket through your pistol or rifle, you would not have to replace its barrel as often. This round further features the Catalyst primer, which is reliable and lead-free -- far better for your respiratory health if you have to fire indoors.
This round’s bullet is a segmented hollow point. It does not expand in the traditional sense, but rather breaks apart to create four devastating wound channels. The core penetrates to a depth of up to 18 inches, while its three segments each inflict their own 6+ inch wound channels. Such a bullet performs essentially the same whether it must pierce thick fabric or not. Place such a bullet in a threat’s torso, and the next step will be to phone the authorities.Customer Reviews

Federal American Eagle 7.62x39 124 Grain FMJ - 500 Rounds
$479.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 124 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 500 Ammo Caliber 7.62X39 Manufacturer SKU A76239A Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50029465085273 Cost Per Round 96¢ per round If you opt to feed your AK with ammo that's shelf-stable, reloadable, and non-corrosive then look no further than these 7.62x39mm rounds from Federal's American Eagle brand. Unlike surplus imports, these American-made cartridges use brass casings that can be processed and hand-loaded after expenditure. Each casing has a clean-igniting Boxer primer that won't harm your barrel with metal-deteriorating elements. Federal guards the primer's edges with water-repelling sealant in order to increase dependable storage life. Each casing is crimped to the knurled cannelure of a full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet.
This type of crimp point prevents the bullet from being pushed back or dislodged which could otherwise cause a failure to fire or loss in accuracy. The FMJ projectile itself weighs in at 124 grains for compatibility with most other AK and SKS ammo on the market, resulting in consistent point-of-impact and relatable recoil. The bullet's true copper jacket and basic lead core preclude any sparking or penetration that might get the ammo banned at an indoor range, allowing you to shoot your favorite rifle wherever you wish. This 500-round bulk case is best used for practice and drills against training targets.

Federal Shorty Shotshell 12 Gauge 1-3/4" 15/16oz. #8 Shot – 10 Rounds
$9.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 15/16 oz.

This 12 Gauge shell is less than two inches long, and yet it still packs nearly one ounce of #8 lead shot. That shot is hard and naturally able to stay round until it ejects from the muzzle. Even given its size, you’ll find that a Shorty’s accuracy and downrange energy are in every way comparable to what you should expect from a normal size load!
Federal didn’t take the Shorty as an opportunity to give their customers any less than they great quality for which they’re so well respected. You’ll be able to subject this shell’s hull to the same amount of abuse that you would any other load’s, and its even patterning wad, sensitive primer, and consistent propellant charge are all characteristic of a bigger load’s as well. This shell’s softer recoil is great for fostering a love for target shooting in youngsters, and it puny size makes it very convenient to keep on hand for general usage!Customer Reviews

Small, but Works Great!

Cycles fine in my pump shotgun, but not so much in the box fed shotgun. I could not chamber a round with my box feed without getting a malfunction. These are definitely ideal when you want more rounds in your magazine tube without buying a new tube. My magazine tube holds 6 rounds of 2-3/4” and I was able to load all 10 of these rounds with room for 1 or 2 more. These were fun to shoot.

Federal Shorty Shotshell 12 Gauge 1-3/4" 1 oz. Rifled Slug – 100 Rounds
$99.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 1 oz. Bullet Type Rifled Slug Use Type hunting Quantity 100 Ammo Caliber 12 Gauge Manufacturer SKU SH129 RS Shell Length 1-3/4" Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50004544651945 Cost Per Round 99.8¢ per round Federal Premium’s Shorty Shotshell series 12 Gauge ammunition really is something else! This diminutive shotshell measures a mere 1-3/4” long, yet its accuracy and energy are both on par with many full-size shells!
This shell is loaded with a one-ounce rifled slug. The solid lead projectile’s rifled design does not impart rotational stability; it simply enables safe passage through a smoothbore barrel and its choke tube. Its nose cavity forces the slug to flatten down, maximize energy transfer, and gouge out a wider, more injurious wound cavity during penetration. And because the shell’s low-fouling propellant charge delivers a reliable muzzle velocity of 1,200 fps, the 0.110 G1 BC slug consistently conserves at least 1,000 ft lbs of energy until it reaches 66 yards.
Federal didn’t shortchange this short shell in terms of quality. You can trust its primer to light up exactly when you tell it to, and its low-brass hull to feed and extract like a charm. Take care that semi-autos generally don’t cycle short shells, and some pump-actions need special adapters before they can run ammo like this.
