What Makes This Different
Federal's American Eagle line uses the same quality control standards as their premium hunting and self-defense ammunition, but at a price point suitable for high-volume shooting. The 230-grain bullet weight matches military specifications, ensuring consistent point of impact with duty ammunition. Quality brass cases support multiple reloading cycles, while the full metal jacket design prevents lead fouling in barrels during extended shooting sessions.
