Details

Federal's American Eagle brand of ammunition is a great source for quality, reloadable training ammunition for pistols, carbines, and rifles. Available calibers run from small pistol calibers like the 380 Auto, all the way up to larger rifle calibers like the 50 BMG.

This 9mm Luger ammunition is loaded with a light 115 grain full metal jacket bullet. This bullet weight is great for sub-compact handguns, like the Glock 26 and M&P Shield, as well as compact and full size pistols; and the FMJ bull is ideal for range training. This ammo will have a very similar trajectory and felt recoil to that of expensive self-defense loads.

Federal American Eagle ammunition is produced alongside Federal premium ammo. Each round is loaded using a Boxer primer and a brass casing.

A: Federal American Eagle does not load any steel components in any of their handgun rounds. These will be a standard construction of brass case, copper jacket and lead core. Nothing in these will attract a magnet.

A: Hello Surry! According to Federal, the muzzle velocity of this American Eagle round is 1180 fps. The listed muzzle energy of this round is 356 ft. lbs.

A: Hello! Federal American Eagle ammunition is domestic made and does not contain any steel. It will be completely fine for use at ranges that require a magnet test.
