Federal Premium is one of the most respected names in American ammunition manufacturing. Fire off a case of American Eagle 9mm Luger ammo, which is designed to mimic the performance of Federal’s HST line of self-defense ammunition, if you want to see why.
This cartridge is loaded within SAAMI specifications for standard pressure ammo. Even so, its middleweight 124 grain projectile gains supersonic muzzle velocity by the time it exits a 4” test barrel. Energy transfer at 50 yards would still be over 300 ft lbs. The full metal jacket projectile’s inability to undergo terminal expansion would be a drawback if you were to employ it for self-defense, but its economical (and steel-free) design makes it a natural choice for target shooting.
Federal has loaded ammunition in Anoka, MN for over 100 years. The old company’s 9mm ammo features brand new brass cases, Federal’s own reliable primers, and clean-burning smokeless propellant. Five 100-round boxes per case.

Fantastic practice ammunition
I’ve used Federal ammunition for years. Carried it on the job and for personal defense. It shoots clean and has always been consistent. I’ve never had any issues or problems in any of my firearms. I like using Federal ammo for training or practice because of it consistency and reliability.

Best ammo for target practice in my 9mm 1911
This ammo is some of the cleanest ammo I've ran. Not super cheap but not expensive either. Federal American Eagle are my favorite range ammo!
