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.

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.

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!

Worked beautifully in my MP5 clone with can.

Talk about service. I ordered this ammo Tuesday and received it on Friday. Bravo Zulu Bulk Ammo. I have had no problems with this ammo, it is a little dirty but for the price you can’t complain.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Purchased this ammo for IDPA & USPSA matches. Very reliable ammo. Very FAST delivery! Excellent service from Bulkammo.com!

I wish i could afford to shoot them all the time because they preform flawlessly. I only use them in my Willson Beretta. Great ammo from BULKAMMO. They never disappointed me.

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!

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.

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.

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

This product performed excellenty, grouped well and cycled well. No jams. Ran it through my Walther PPQ and my Sig P365.

Works really well in my Smith&Wesson M&P 2.0 with suppressor. Bulk Ammo’s service was amazing as usual.

Good product at a good price. Shooting straight and true.

Zeroed a dot with these yesterday then fired a magazine of SIG V-Crown 124s to verify. Recoil felt similar and POI was the same so although these are slightly more expensive than 115s these may be my range ammo from here on.

Wish I could stock up some more
