- 1000 Rounds of 9mm Ammo by Federal - 147gr FMJ
Details
Federal's American Eagle line of handgun ammo is benchmark for the industry for quality range ammo. This quality 9mm ammo is topped with a subsonic bullet weighing 147 grains and is great for shooting suppressed. This ammo is also well regarded by competition shooters who don't want to spend the time reloading. This ammo has a relatively light recoil and if you're an IDPA enthusiast it still makes power factor.
Loaded in Anoka, Minnesota, this ammo is brass-cased, boxer-primed, reloadable, and non-magnetic. Out of Federal's test barrel, this ammo had a muzzle velocity of 1,000 feet per second with 326 ft. lbs. of energy. This is quality, American made ammo available in a bulk 1,000 round factory case.

The ammo was on sale, so far no issues but it's not subsonic in my 4" barrel. not sure how big their "test barrel" is, I'm getting 1,100-1,125 fps (Posted on 11/30/2019)

Great service relative to delivery from Bulk Ammo (as usual). Ammo works fine in Sig w/ suppressor, no functional problems thru several hundred rounds. Comment on 'dirty', leaves heavier carbon deposit than other Federal ammo. (Posted on 1/10/2019)

Just ordered another 4 cases (to take advantage of the rebate from Federal). Ammo performed flawlessly, fairly clean, nice soft recoil while still making IDPA power factor. My "go to" match ammo. (Posted on 12/13/2017)

I bought this ammo specifically to shoot suppressed. It is quiet, however it is pretty dirty and will leave residue on your hands and spit some back at your face every now and again. I would highly recommend for the price! (Posted on 2/6/2016)

I trust 147gr Federal HST with my life and have never had issues with it, but i have had one or two hang fire rounds with these as range ammo. I'd much rather experience a FTF than a hang fire as the primers were obviously depressed deeper on the said rounds when in the mags and marked so I was prepared for a FTF or a HF round. Had a new shooter been using these and that happened I can only say more care in production should have been taken by such a big name in ammo distribution or more education on the shooters part.

Bought while on a great special...about the same price as 115 or 124 grain. Would Love to see that deal again. Anyway, about 400 rounds in, no probs. Slightly smokier than other fmj I've used but nothing a modern indoor range can't easily handle. Recoil moderately lighter than lower grain stuff. Really like this. (Posted on 2/15/2015)

During the 2013 New Mexico State IDPA Championship I had disastrous problems with another major ammunition manufacturer in this bullet weight. Fortunately, I had brought along several boxes of the Federal offering and switched to it during the lunch break. I finished the match without another malfunction. Since then, this has been my "go to" ammo when I shoot factory ammunition in registered matches. Three cheers for Federal quality. (Posted on 12/1/2014)

still have 1500 or so of this ammo that I purchased last year. I guess I'll keep it for competition only and shoot the cheaper 115/124 stuff for practice. The 147 gr Federal is dependable, feeds and cycles well in our XDM 5.25 9mm's with no issues. Soft recoil compared to 115 or 124. once the price drops by half, I'll buy somemore.

Cheap ammo that cycles through my Glock, but so does everything else. This a dirty ammo so make sure all your cleaning supplies are ready after your range session. Overall, not bad. I will spend a few more bucks for a cleaner ammo next go around. (Posted on 11/29/2012)

I ordered 1,000 rounds of this ammo Thursday afternoon after 2 pm. It arrived today, Friday, just after noon! Less than 24 hours. I dare anyone else to beat that for service. The ammo is as advertised and I shot 50 rounds this afternoon with no problems with my G19. Don't be fooled by others who say they have ammo in stock but really don't. BulkAmmo.com is the ONLY place to buy ammo from. Their customer service people are there if you need them as well. Keep up the good work BulkAmmo.com! (Posted on 10/5/2012)

I shoot competitions and need a round that is reliable, affordable, and accurate. This meets all those requirements. I always feel tempted shoot the lighter cheaper bullets but the 147 gr. seems to cycle the gun smoother and better every time. I have run 4,000+ of this through my P226 without a single malfunction, while I used to have malfunctions every 200-300 rounds or so with the lighter cheaper rounds. (Posted on 9/15/2011)

Q: Do u know what the velocity would be out of an 8” barrel. Looking for subsonic to shoot out of an at 9
Posted On: 2/23/2020 By: paul
A: We apologize, but Federal only published the ballistic data for this round when fired through a 4" barrel. It is not possible to accurately estimate a round's muzzle velocity through a differently sized barrel -- you've got to do a chronograph test for that.
Q: I notice this brand has the highest amount of grains. However, I am ignorant as to what the grains are and what kind of advantage 147 grains would have over most of the other brands which show on average of being 115 grains.
Posted On: 10/19/2011 By: Amanda Hepworth
A: Those grain numbers refer to bullet weight. There are 7000 grains in a pound, so a 147 grain bullet weighs about 1/3 of an ounce. The advantage of this 147gr FMJ ammunition is that it recoils exactly like 147gr hollowpoints, while 115gr ammo might have a slightly different recoil impulse. Also, this heavier bullet is traveling slower. It is actually traveling under the speed of sound, while almost all 115s are traveling above the speed of sound. For most people, this doesn't matter, but if you ever use a sound suppressor (silencer), the lack of the sonic "crack" will make the ammo much quieter.
Q: Would the heavier weight bullet be sufficient for self defense?
Posted On: 10/5/2011 By: Dave
A: Yes, 147gr 9mm ammunition is sufficient for self defense. It would be recommended to use a jacketed hollow point for that purpose, wherever legal. Because of the projectile's design, 9mm full metal jacket ammunition of all bullet weights will perform in an almost identical manner against soft targets.
Q: What is the muzzle velocity of this ammo from a 4 inch barrel?
Posted On: 9/27/2011 By: Brad
A: From a 4" barrel, this Federal 9mm ammunition should chronograph at approximately 950fps. This may vary depending on your firearm.
