The Federal AE22350VP American Eagle Varmint & Predator ammunition delivers precision terminal performance for small game hunting and pest control. This 223 Remington load features 50-grain jacketed hollow point bullets engineered for rapid expansion and energy transfer on impact.
What Makes This Different
Federal's American Eagle Varmint & Predator line bridges the gap between training ammunition and premium hunting loads. The jacketed hollow point design provides controlled expansion that standard FMJ rounds cannot match, while maintaining the affordability that makes extended practice sessions feasible. Federal's consistent powder charges and quality control standards ensure shot-to-shot uniformity that budget alternatives often lack.
