90 YEARS
In 1937,
Federal and a distinguished group of wildlife conservationists encouraged U.S. Congress to pass the PittmanRobertson Wildlife Restoration Act. This self-imposed excise tax on ammunition and firearms has raised billions of dollars to help conserve the environment. We currently pay an 11% excise tax quarterly on commercial ammunition sales. In 2012, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the act that serves as the basis of wildlife management funding in America.
FROM our humble beginnings nestled among a the h lakes and woods of Minnesota, Federal Premium® Ammunition has evolved into one of the world’s major producers of sporting ammunition. Beginning in 1922, our founding president, Charles L. Horn, paved the way for our success. Today, we carry on Horn’s vision for quality products and service with the next generation of outdoorsmen and women. With our CEO Mark W. DeYoung at the helm, we maintain our position as experts in the science of ammunition production. Every day we manufacture products to enhance your shooting experience while partnering with the
conservation organizations that protect and support our outdoor heritage. We offer thousands of options in our Premium and standard lines—it’s what makes us the most complete ammunition company in the business and provides you with a choice no matter what your pursuit. At Federal Premium®, we believe that certain moments are worth a premium. Whatever your pursuit, it’s about the experiences and the camaraderie. With this catalog, we commemorate our 90 years. We thank you for your continued support.
The drive to continually deliver excellence is a defining value here at Federal Premium. You are an important part of the shooting sports—regardless of your pursuit. Your passion for the outdoors motivates us to continually serve you with quality products and service. Thank you for your continued support.

Usage Key: 1 = Varmints, predators, small game 2 = Medium game 3 = Large, heavy game 4 = Dangerous game 5 = Target shooting, training, practice 6 = Self defense These trajectory tables were calculated by computer using the best available data for each load. Trajectories are representative of the nominal behavior of each load at standard conditions (59°F temperature; barometric pressure of 29.53 inches; altitude at sea level). Shooters are cautioned that actual trajectories may differ due to variations in altitude, atmospheric conditions, guns, sights and ammunition.

PREMIU PREM UM® HAN ANDG DGUN DG U UN
PREMIUM® HANDGUN HUN U TING
90 YEARS
1963 was the year
of the centerfire cartridge. Federal added rifle and handgun ammunition to its lineup. The original products included 12 rifle calibers loaded with Hi-Shok™ soft point bullets, and two handgun calibers (limited .38 and .45).
BIG GAME hunting is never a sure thing. Uncooperative weather, long shots and stealthy game all wreak havoc in the field. Those of us who elect to bring handguns realize the importance of seizing every opportunity. For tough bullets loaded to ideal velocities look no further than Swift® A-Frame®. This proven performer gets high weight retention and controlled expansion on impact, regardless of distance. Its bonding process ensures the jacket and core will hold together to get deep penetration. All Premium Vital-Shok cases are nickelplated for easy extraction and corrosion protection. All this translates to excellent stopping power on big game. Our CastCore offerings smash through bone without breaking apart. They’re heavyweight and constructed of hard-cast lead with a blunt nose, and pack tremendous force with deep penetration, ideal for pigs, deer or bear hunting.

HOME safety begins on the inside. We take you and your family ’s safety serious, that’s why Federal engineers have spent hours developing the right load for the millisecond you may need it. Federal first introduced self defense ammunition in 1996 and since then we’ve advanced the technology and standard in personal protection. e We’ve taken n our patented expanding-FMJ bullet b technology and created a home defense round o that minimizes zes over-penetration through interior e walls. This translates to a reduced risk of serious injury to bystanders ystanders standers in other rooms or houses. h Because Guard Dog ex expands xpands every time and never fills f with barrier material, like ke e conventional hollow-points, ts s, it’s the ideal option for in-home -h home defense.

WHY 4 BUCK?
JUDGE LOADS
We tested large and small, hard and soft shot to create the most reliable loads for personal defense situations. The size and weight of 4 Buck shot and deformation characteristics of 0 antimony lead help dissipate energy after hitting a wall. By combining our 4B lead and unique wad system designed for 15 foot patterns, we’re able to control penetration and shot spread. Our 4B loads give you enough penetration to stop intruders and minimizes the effects of wall penetration.
PREMIUM ® SHOTSHELL SPECIFICATIONS Our 410 handgun shotshells are designed for the Judge from Taurus. A unique wad system for the rifled barrel means great patterns. Special brass heads ensure smooth extraction. Our Personal Defense 410 handgun rounds function great in firearms recently developed by other manufacturers.

FEDERAL was the first to introduce a unique wad-shot system that has proven highly successful in the field—the rear-braking FLITECONTROL® wad and cutting edge FLITESTOPPER® pellets. Black Cloud® helped put the FLITECONTROL wad on the map. And its performance is unmatched. Over the years, our product development team optimized this wad system for new platforms. Today you’ll find the FLITECONTROL wad in our pheasant, turkey, waterfowl and buckshot offerings. Learn what makes the FLITECONTROL wad, and the payloads it’s combined with, so much different. And so much better.

The TruBall® rifled slug system is the most consistent groupto-group smoothbore slug on the market. It’s capable of taking 5-shot 4.5-inch spread of conventional smoothbore slugs and shrinking it to 1.4” at 50 yards. The TruBall system locks the components together, centering and pushing the slug out of the barrel. This promotes clean separation of components after muzzle exit to ensure greater downrange accuracy.

90 YEARS
1931 was the first year
Federal offered buckshot loads. Sold under the Hi-Power name, they were only available in 00 Buck until 1933, when 0 Buck and 1 Buck were introduced. No. 4 Buck was added to the lineup in 1947. Beginning in the 1960s, buckshot loads were sold in five packs. Here, two Federal employees inspect the shotshell brass heads before they are sent for assembly.
FOR 90 years we’ve produced shotshells. In that time, we’ve learned a thing or two about loading game-changing ammunition. We’re dedicated to providing the very best—whether that’s the tightest patterns, most affordable shells or the afford widest offerings available. Depredation officials and predator off enthusiasts sin sing n the praises of the one-shot killing killin power of our HEAVYWEIGHT T® Coyote load. This combination o of FLITECONTROL® wad w and mega-dense shot drastically extends the effective shotshell range for coyotes.
Our coyote load has a density of 15 g/cc—more than any other commercially loaded ammunition. A payload of HEAVYWEIGHT® pellets paired with the proprietary FLITECONTROL® wad means better patterns and much more downrange energy.

That means, a 3-inch #4 FS Steel load (216 pellets) can replace your standard 2-3/4-inch #5 lead (212 pellets), making the FS Steel an ideal alternative for WPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or walk-in public land.

In 1931,
Federal began to redesign its labels to reflect various hunting and shooting sports. Federal marketed the Hi-PowerTM brand as a hunting load and MonarkTM ammunition as a field or game load. Advertisements like the one above, were produced for retail shops across the nation.
THE passion we share with upland hunters goes into every shell. We know you need fast payloads that pattern well. And we understand the satisfaction of watching dogs work. All of our Wing-Shok™ upland loads feature Premium® brand copper-plated lead shot and the best components. We spend countless hours developing specialty lo loads for all types of upland hunting. Our Magnum loads loads ffeature buffered shot for tighter patterns, patterns less feather draw and maximum pe penetration. en This buffer protects and supports sup pp the shot when fired, reducing deformation deffor of the pellets. Our heavy payloads payloa ad pack a punch and get to your target targe et faster than typical shotshell loads. And, as 28-gauge and other sub-gauges a are growing in popularity among experienced e hunters, look loo ok to the Wing-Shok varrie of reliable options lineup for a variety t expectatio on in the field. that exceed expectations
WING•SHOK® CUTAWAY Wing-Shok Magnum loads utilize a buffered shot mix that cushions the shot as it is fired. Reduces deformation and provides fuller, more consistent patterns

We make a variety of shotshells for every shotgunning pursuit. Each shell goes from pellet to pallet without being touched by a human hand. 1] Plastic pellets are melted down into a plastic tube. 2] We heat, stretch and cool the tube until they form the hull. 3] Hulls are cut to length. 4] Case head is stamped out of sheets of brass. 5] Gold Medal hulls are one piece with an integral base.

6] The hulls move to the primer insert and heading machine. 7] Still untouched by human hands, the shell moves on to the loader where it gets its powder charge, shot wad and pellets. 8] It’s then crimped, labeled and ready for the packing line. 9] Each shell is inspected by a skilled employee, boxed, weighed and cased. 10] The packaging process is completely automated and uses quality control systems to make sure each shotshell coming off the line is ready for your shell bag.

Fusion® technology allowed us to drastically change the way deer ammunition was seen. Before Fusion, there was a big gap in performance between the economical and Premium® loads available to deer hunters. Many times buying the less expensive cartridges meant sacrificing a lot of performance in the field. Saving a few dollars may have meant less-than ideal results. The need to come up with a bullet that is affordable, but can be counted on without fail was met by Fusion. No other bullet in its class is as tough, accurate or lethal. The Fusion process electrochemically joins the jacket to the core in a way that ensures impressive weight retention. These bullets won’t separate—so you know all the energy from these advanced projectiles is transferred on impact—stopping deer in their tracks.

Fusion Lite® offerings give shooters who prefer less recoil an effective option in the field. These loads don’t feature ultra-light bullets—just half the recoil. While our competition uses lighter bullets, we load Fusion with the proven standard weight bullets you desire. We just use special propellants and primer combinations to achieve reduced recoil. That means you can count on Fusion to provide better penetration without the shoulderpounding. They’re effective out to 200 yards and the same deer-dropping technology Fusion is known for goes into these special loads. These lower velocity offerings are excellent choices for new shooters. With standard bullet weights and half the recoil, you’ll be ultra-comfortable behind your favorite deer rifle. That’s good news for you and bad news for that monster whitetail you’re after.

Built on the Fusion platform, we’ve specialized the Fusion Safari bullet to ensure enhanced aerodynamics, accuracy and deep penetration. We start by electrochemically applying the jacket to the core for consistent toughness. Then internally skive the bullets for consistent, pre-programmed mushrooms. Fusion Safari’s high weight retention supplies a rapid energy dump for a strong terminal effect specific for African game. Plus, the bullet weights and velocities match those of Federal Premium’s Trophy Bonded® Bear Claw® for easy interchangeability. Available in .375 H&H to .458 Lott.
