Details

Federal's American Eagle line of ammo is a great value to bulk shooters. These bullets are perfect for defensive training, IDPA and 3-gun competitions, and are cheap enough for plinking with friends.

American Eagle ammunition is manufactured at the same plant as Federal's premium ammo, with the same processes and quality control. This 9mm ammo is loaded with a 115 grain full metal jacket bullet, and uses an economical boxer primed brass case. This ammunition will have a very similar kick and trajectory to Federal's 115 grain defensive loads.

Federal Premium Ammunition is located and headquartered in Anoka, Minnesota, where they employ approximately 1,400 people. The Anoka facility produces large quantities of ammunition, which is shipped all over the country, and used for training, self defense, law enforcement, and hunting.

Detailed Analysis:

What Shooters Praise (The Pros)

Reliability

Reports across thousands of rounds indicate near-flawless cycling, with almost no malfunctions or failures to feed/fire/eject mentioned. Users note superb consistency in both older and new firearms, including Glock, Sig, Smith & Wesson, Beretta, and others. Only rare, isolated issues (occasional jam or FTE, generally attributed to specific firearms or break-in periods) are cited.

Performance

Widely praised for accuracy and smooth function, with users noting tight groupings, predictable behavior, and excellent compatibility with diverse 9mm pistols. Many compare it favorably to or cleaner than major competitors. Suitable for both recreational and more serious training purposes.

Bargain

Commonly highlighted as offering outstanding value for the quality, particularly when purchased in bulk or on sale. Buyers appreciate the competitive pricing, fast shipping, and well-packaged shipments, often beating local retail offers.

What to Know (The Nuances)

• Cleanliness: Most users find these rounds burn clean, resulting in minimal fouling and easy post-range cleanup; a few mention slight residue on hands or cases but still rate cleanliness above average for the category.
• Casing Material: Brass cases, which are reloadable, were consistently preferred—no aluminum or steel observed in these reviews; valued for their suitability for handloaders.
• Shipping and Customer Service: Nearly universal acclaim for extremely fast shipping (often 1–3 days), protective packaging, reliable delivery, and easy website ordering.
• Bulk Purchases: Many report purchasing thousands of rounds per order; ammo arrives intact and in good condition, even during peak holiday seasons.
• Occasional Isolated Issue: Rare reports of a jam or misfire, typically seen as one-off or addressed by lubricating new firearms.

Conclusion

Federal American Eagle 9mm 115gr FMJ is highly regarded for range and training use, combining formidable reliability, solid accuracy, and reloadable brass cases at a very competitive price point. With overwhelmingly positive reviews on performance and service—and only minor mixed feedback on casings or residue—this is an ideal choice for shooters seeking trusted, affordable bulk ammo for regular practice. Recommended for shooters of all experience levels who value reliability, clean shooting, and excellent customer support.

A: Hello George! This pistol ammo does not contain shot, although its FMJ bullets' cores are made of lead. If your range truly does ban all projectiles which contain lead, then these are the only truly lead-free 9mm rounds we have in stock: https://www.bulkammo.com/handgun/bulk-9mm-ammo?jacket_type=73%2C3037 . If your range permits TMJ ammo (which is loaded with lead-core bullets, albeit fully jacketed ones that do not emit lead gas on ignition), then you can choose from this ammo here: https://www.bulkammo.com/handgun/bulk-9mm-ammo?jacket_type=80%2C2908

A: Hi Jesse! I can never guarantee any kind of performance out of a specific firearm. Having never seen it, I have zero knowledge of your pistol's condition. That being said, there is no reason why an M&P 2.0 shouldn't run this ammo just fine.

Posted On: 10/4/2022 By: Jimmy

A: Absolutely sir, this is a good choice of range ammunition for any 9mm Glock. I've personally run several thousand rounds of Federal American Eagle through my G19, and only have one or two failures to feed to complain about.

Posted On: 4/27/2020 By: Bob

A: Hello Bob! No tricks up our sleeve here – as I write we have 85 cases of this ammo in stock and ready to ship at a moment's notice. If no one else has this ammo in stock, they're probably just in short supply in the wake of the pandemic scare.

Posted On: 3/29/2017 By: James

A: Hello James, This specific product from Federal is packaged in 50 round boxes with 20 boxes per case.

Posted On: 12/27/2015 By: William

A: Hello William, This Federal American Eagle does not contain any steel in the projectile.

Posted On: 12/19/2015 By: Dan

A: Hello Dan, This ammunition is manufactured in the US by Federal.

Posted On: 12/10/2015 By: John

A: Hello John, The Federal American Eagle is a great quality option to be used in a G17.

Posted On: 11/18/2015 By: mark

A: Hello Mark, This ammunition is loaded to standard 9mm Luger velocities. Federal lists the muzzle velocity as 1160 fps.

Posted On: 10/20/2011 By: Anonymous

A: This ammo is loaded to SAAMI specifications and should function in any serviceable 9mm Luger firearm.

Posted On: 10/18/2011 By: Brian

A: This ban was discussed a few years back but seems to have been defeated, or at least derailed, but will certainly come up again in the future.

Posted On: 10/11/2011 By: Jeremy

A: This is highly dependent on your loading procedures and pressures, but it would not be unreasonable to expect 5 to 10 reloading cycles out of this American Eagle brass.
