History of the Company
In 1922, Charles L. Horn took over a small ammunition plant in Minnesota, where the headquarters still sits today. Horn created an unusual distribution plan that included placing Federal’s products in gas stations and grocery stores, and the strategy was successful for developing their name and reputation. In 1941, they were contracted by the US government to build and run the Twin City Ordinance Plant so they could produce small arms for World War II.
In 1960, Federal became the first manufacturer to color-code shotgun shells. This was done to minimize the chances of shooters loading the wrong gauge shells into their shotgun. This was such a well-received idea that the practice of color-coding shells is now an industry norm.
In the late 1970s, Federal developed their Premium line of ammunition, which uses superior-quality bullets from other manufacturers. For most of the years they have been in business, they used the name “Federal Premium”, but they recently rebranded to simply “Federal”, reserving the Premium name for their top-of-the-line ammunition. Federal is currently a subsidiary of Vista Outdoor Inc, and in addition to the ammunition produced under the Federal name, they produce American Eagle, a value-priced ammunition option that provides reliability and solid performance.
Throughout its nearly hundred years in business, Federal Ammunition has maintained its reputation as a top choice for hunters, competitive and recreational shooters, and law enforcement. Their constant innovation, high standards, and outstanding quality control helps them maintain their dominance the ammunition industry.

12 GAUGE 2 3/4" FEDERAL TOP GUN 1 1/8 OZ #7.5 LEAD SHOT (250 ROUNDS)I've been using these Federal shells for years. They've changed the box graphics but its the same load. Used to buy in retail discount stores for $6/box, those days are gone! They pattern well and still have a full one and 1/8 oz of shot. Only negative is they do not reload well, these are throwaways. Nice hunting loads too.(07/28/2022)
