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.

The bullet’s hollow point nose cavity resists becoming plugged up with fabric and other debris that could impact its ability to initiate expansion, and its core and jacket are united via cannelure to ensure they retain the weight requisite for deep penetration. The skives in the HST’s jacket strategically weaken it to ensure that it can reliably expand into a star shape. This promotes a simply lethal wound channel, but also one that won’t overextend to put innocent bystanders in harm’s way.
This cartridge provides a nickel plated brass casing which feeds into and extracts from a semi-automatic weapon like clockwork. Its bullet’s streamlined profile and responsive Boxer primer do their parts to promote flawless cycling as well, so you can count on the round to deliver when you’re in a tight spot. -

Federal Personal Defense HST 357 Sig 125 Grain JHP – 20 Rounds
$35.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 125 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 357 Sig Manufacturer SKU P357SHST1S Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544657463 Cost Per Round $1.79 per round Please take note: 357 SIG is different than 357 Mag ammunition, and it will not fire in 357 Mag firearms.
Federal Personal Defense HST ammo may be marketed to the private sector, but it’s every bit as high quality as the old Minnesotan company’s police-grade ammo. While this cartridge’s 125 grain JHP does lack a bonded jacket, its mechanically locked jacket and core effectively deliver 100 percent weight retention or very close to it. The HST bullet even holds itself together if it has to pass through sheet metal!
A bullet that stays intact is able to penetrate a threat to the optimal depth for takedown terminal performance. The HST bullet’s clog-resistant nose cavity also helps it to avoid over-penetration while simultaneously tracking a wide and devastating wound channel through surrounding soft tissue.
This ammo’s Boxer-primed brass cases wear nickel plating. The thin layer of metal enhances lubricity to promote more reliable cycling in a semi-automatic, and it’s also less susceptible to corrosion than bare brass alone. The HST bullet’s own nose profile is also contoured to feed more reliably – a welcome advantage for a self-defense load! -

This 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge from Federal’s Gold Medal label falls squarely within that last category, and is therefore perfect for serious tournament shooting.
This round showcases the jaw-dropping precision of Sierra’s MatchKing. The bullet’s form is incredibly streamlined, from its narrow-gauged hollow point meplat to its smoothly tapered boat tail base. The MatchKing’s stability in flight is virtually unparallelled, with an ultra-dense core and thin copper jacket that is concentric on a microscopic level. If the MatchKing were any more accurate, you wouldn’t even need to aim it.
Federal carefully seated this round’s MatchKing on a match grade brass casing, which only amplifies its accuracy even further while providing smooth feeding and extraction coupled with repeated reloadability. This round’s Gold Medal primer is so sensitive that it would know what its wife is upset about without even having to ask her, and its propellant burns clean in order to maintain a rifle’s accuracy in between cleanings. -

That’s easier said than done when you’re talking about ranges of several hundred yards – but manageable, so long as you’re chambering the right kind of 308 Win ammo. And here is just the right kind of ammo: Federal Gold Medal CenterStrike.
This cartridge features Federal’s proprietary CenterStrike open tip match projectile. The beefy 175 grain bullet owes its soaring 0.505 G1 ballistic coefficient not just to its sleek and aerodynamic profile, but also its uniformly distributed lead core which was injected into its thin and concentric copper-alloy jacket. The OTM may not be able to supply the terminal expansion requisite for ethical hunting, but its flat, wind-resistant trajectory will prove inestimably valuable when you’re just trying to set new personal records at the range.
Federal elevates their OTM to perfection by seating it in a match-grade reloadable brass case, complete with meticulously formulated clean-burning propellant and a Gold Medal primer backing up. It’s a great demonstration of the tightest specs the old Minnesotan company can load to! -

Each bullet is crimped into a reloadable brass casing which wears a coat of smooth nickel, improving its cycling capability and shelf-life with a corrosion-resistant finish. The bottom of the case is fitted with a non-caustic Boxer primer that is bordered with thin moisture sealant. This substance keeps humidity and sweat from ruining the rounds function without interfering with the primer's ignition: a valuable feature of ammo that can be carried anywhere on the hunt. In addition, the Barnes Expander's round nose facilitates easy loading into revolver cylinders and lever-action side gates while its hollow cavity makes the load safe for tubular magazine storage.

$10.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight Not Applicable Bullet Type #00 Buck Use Type hunting or defending your home Quantity 5 Ammo Caliber 12 Gauge Manufacturer SKU LE133 00 Shot Material Lead Shell Length 2-3/4" Magnetic No UPC Barcode 29465023157 Cost Per Round $2.17 per round This 12 gauge ammunition from Federal Tactical is designed for law enforcement use but can also serve well in a self-defense role. These shells feature the Flitecontrol rear-breaking wad, a design that keeps shot bunched together for several yards after it leaves a shotgun's barrel. This results in tighter patterning for better medium-range effectiveness without sacrificing point-blank lethality.
Each 2-3/4" shell in this box fires 8 pellets of 00 buckshot at a muzzle velocity of 1,145 feet per second. This velocity is considerably lower than that produced by hunting loads and serves to keep recoil to a manageable level for faster follow-up shots and mitigate the risk of overpenetration.
Federal Tactical shotshells are loaded in Anoka, Minnesota. This box contains 5 shells, so pick up a few for training and home protection!

Federal Power-Shok 450 Bushmaster 300 Grain JHP – 20 Rounds
$44.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 300 Grain Bullet Type Soft-Point (SP) Use Type hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 450 Bushmaster Manufacturer SKU 450BMB Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544646993 Cost Per Round $2.24 per round Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper popularized the thumper concept. Federal has perfected it in the form of their Power-Shok 450 Bushmaster ammunition! This round’s rather simple bullet won’t cost you an arm and a leg or any other essential limbs you might own, but it makes short work of deer, hogs and other medium size game nevertheless!
This round’s 300 grain projectile is a jacketed hollow point – just like the bullets that may currently occupy the magazine of your everyday carry pistol. The bullet’s nose cavity isn’t nearly as deep, but it is still equipped to deliver the rapid terminal expansion which kills fast and with minimal pain and suffering on your quarry’s part. The JHP’s jacket promotes deeper penetration by preventing the bullet from excessively fragmenting following high-velocity impact. Like we said: a simple design, but effective!
This round’s bullet clears the barrel at a rate of 1,900 fps. Its 0.225 G1 ballistic coefficient will keep the bullet supersonic until approximately 213 yards. Federal estimates that the JHP will still undergo terminal expansion following impact as slow as 1,000 fps, which limits this round’s effective range to approximately 248 yards. New brass cases, snappy primers and clean-burning powder complete this Minnesota-made 450 BM hunting ammo! -

Federal 308 Win 175 Grain Terminal Ascent – 20 Rounds
$46.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 175 Grain Bullet Type Polymer Tipped Use Type hunting big game, hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 308 Winchester (7.62X51) Manufacturer SKU P308TA1 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544659436 Cost Per Round $2.34 per round Fly true. Hit hard. This is the credo of Federal’s Terminal Ascent projectile, which merges match accuracy with overpowering terminal ballistics. If your 308 Win rifle is one of your favorite hunting companions, then this Minnesota-made cartridge will meet – and most likely exceed – your expectations.
This round’s 175 grain Terminal Ascent features Federal’s highly aerodynamic Slipstream polymer tip. The bullet’s slick copper jacket also features Federal’s AccuChannel groove technology, which effectively minimizes drag to promote a flatter trajectory and deadlier energy transferral on impact. (0.520 G1 BC; 0.258 G7 BC)
The Terminal Ascent is a true bonded bullet, which excels at resisting core/jacket separation so it can reliably tunnel a wound channel which reaches a medium or large quarry’s vital organs. The Slipstream tip presses inward to initiate devastating terminal expansion – even at lower velocities – and its meticulously contoured jacket guides wide and uniform expansion that will drop the quarry exactly where it once stood.
This top shelf hunting ammo features Federal’s own headstamped reloadable brass cases, which wear nickel plating to reduce metal-on-metal friction during feeding and extraction. Nickel also guards brass against corrosion so it can cycle dependably even after the ammo has been exposed to the elements. -
Federal Power-Shok 303 British 150 Grain SP – 20 Rounds
$49.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 150 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Soft-Point (JSP) Use Type hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 303 British Manufacturer SKU 303B Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 29465085940 Cost Per Round $2.49 per round Federal's Power-Shok line helps bring American engineering to old British favorite that spells hell for any medium-size game animal that enters your sight picture. Each .303 British round is built ignited by a clean-burning Boxer primer which is inserted into the base of a brass casing with an accompaniment of water-blocking sealant that helps guarantee reliable function after being humped around in swampy environments. The brass casing is reloadable and can be processed at a home reloading bench for custom loads after being fired. Federal Premium has experience with these components dating back to 1928, allowing them to offer this effective ammunition at an affordable price.
Each round is topped with a 150-grain soft point which is light for the .303 caliber and offers flat-shooting performance with no lack in terminal energy. As the bullet enters a target its soft exposed nose will be smashed, causing massive expansion which tears up internal organs, making the most efficient use of its kinetic energy. A toothed cannelure at the bullet's midsection culls this expansion just enough to ensure proper penetration by mitigating jacket separation. This same feature keeps the bullet properly aligned in its crimp for an accurate zero that you can trust.
