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.

Perfect for Duck Hunting
-
These are long 3-1/2" rounds, so make sure your shotgun can take them. These rounds are great for duck hunting. You can NOT shoot them at steel targets because the steel shot will bounce back at you and could cause injury. I did not have any feed issues and would recommend.

This allows the bullet to mushroom properly for effective energy transfer to a target. In addition, the ammo's brass casings are coated with nickel which resists degradation while smoothing insertion into and ejection from a revolver's cylinder.

These rimmed .30-30 Winchester cartridges from Federal's Fusion lineup represent proof of performance with flat-nosed bullets that are safe for use in lever-action rifles. The 150-grain Fusion projectile follows a soft point format with an exposed nose and strong copper jacket that has been artfully tapered to a sleek, aerodynamic shape. Drag resistance is again furthered but the bullet's boat tail taper which results in very tight groups.
As a Fusion load, the bullet's jacket is bonded to its lead core so the body remains intact during expansion. This allows the explosively expanding bullet to penetrate deeply into the vital areas of a deer or feral hog with no premature loss in momentum. Each bullet is crimped into a reloadable brass casing at its lightly imprinted cannelure, creating a lock that preserves accuracy despite jostling recoil vibrations. The casing has a non-corrosive Boxer primer installed at its base with a light amount of sealant which prevents moisture from ruining your perfect shot.

It’s lightweight and easy to quickly snap up to your shoulder. It’s a time-tested solution for taking deer at close to medium range. It could only be … a lever-action 30-30 Win rifle!
If you want to unload your lever gun at something with antlers, Federal HammerDown ammo is at your service. Henry Repeating Arms’ resident experts advised the Minnesotan manufacturer on how to make the perfect lever action round, complete with a low-friction nickel-plated brass case that is precision chamfered to promote smooth feeding in all rifles’ side gates and tubular mags.
This round’s 150 grain bullet packs a punch. Its bonded lead core and copper jacket stay firmly planted together as they plunge into sinewy muscle tissue – exhibiting precisely the high weight retention it needs in order to achieve effectively deep penetration. The soft point bullet is engineered to undergo devastatingly fast and wide terminal expansion after hitting a deer at any point within the 30-30’s effective range. And with approximately 1,450 ft lbs of striking energy at 100 yards, the deer will never know what got it! -
Federal Personal Defense HST 30 Super Carry 100 Grain JHP – 20 Rounds
$27.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 100 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 30 Super Carry Manufacturer SKU P30HST1S Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544669961 Cost Per Round $1.39 per round The concept behind the 30 Super Carry is genius: comparable accuracy and energy delivery to the 9mm, but in a narrower cartridge that takes up less space in a magazine. Of course, concept alone doesn’t make a self-defense cartridge great. It needs a resilient, fast-expanding bullet to reliably incapacitate a threat when your life is in imminent danger.
Federal’s Personal Defense HST series cartridge does it all. The 100 grain JHP does not have a bonded jacket. Nevertheless, it retains virtually all of its weight as it passes through thick fabric and other common barriers. That’s the key to the JHP’s consistent and effective penetration depth – an average of 15.5 inches after passing through heavy clothing.
This round’s JHP also expands to an average of 0.53 inches after passing through clothing, which means it increases in diameter by about 70 percent. That guarantees a debilitating wound channel accompanied by a significantly reduced risk of dangerous overpenetration. The JHP’s special nose cavity is engineered to avoid becoming gummed up with debris that could have impacted its ability to catalyze terminal expansion.
We would always rather have nickel-plated brass cases for our self-defense ammo. They make each round easier to spot in the chamber, promote more reliable feeding and extraction, and additionally protect against corrosion. Made in Minnesota!
