The Federal AE40LF1 American Eagle Indoor Range Training ammunition eliminates lead exposure concerns while maintaining the ballistic performance shooters expect from 40 S&W rounds. This lead-free training ammunition allows for extended practice sessions in indoor facilities without compromising accuracy or reliability.
What Makes This Different
The lead-free Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) construction completely encases the core, preventing lead vapor and residue that standard ammunition produces. Federal's Catalyst primer technology delivers consistent ignition without lead or heavy metals, making this ammunition compliant with indoor range restrictions. The 120-grain projectile weight provides reduced recoil compared to standard 180-grain loads while maintaining point-of-impact similarity for training purposes.

This training ammunition performs consistently across various 40 S&W platforms, from compact carry pistols to full-size duty weapons. The reduced powder charge generates approximately 15% less felt recoil than standard pressure loads, enabling longer training sessions with improved shot placement. Federal's quality control ensures reliable feeding and extraction across different pistol designs and barrel lengths.
