Description
Federal American Eagle .40 S&W ammunition delivers exactly what you need for serious range time. With 1000 feet per second muzzle velocity and reloadable brass cases, you're getting a value-driven round that punches above its price point. The full metal jacket design feeds reliably through most semi-automatic pistols and generates minimal residue for easier cleanup between sessions.
What Makes Federal American Eagle Stand Out
Federal puts real thought into this line. Clean-burning powders keep your gun cleaner, and the company uses boxer-primed brass that works in any reloader's setup. Every component gets made under the same roof for consistent quality control, so you know what you're getting box after box. The 180-grain bullet weight sits right in the sweet spot for .40 shooters who want manageable recoil without sacrificing ballistic performance.
100 Rounds Built for High-Volume Training
That's a lot of rounds to work with. A 100-round box means extended range sessions without constant trips back to the supply shelf. Whether you're running drills, working on accuracy, or just putting rounds downrange for the sake of it, American Eagle won't slow you down. The rounds come neatly packaged and ready to use straight out of the box.
Reloadable Brass for Extended Value
The virgin brass casing can be reloaded multiple times, which matters if you reload your own ammunition. That extends the already reasonable cost per round even further, making this a smart choice if you shoot frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammo suitable for reloading?
Yes. Federal American Eagle comes in boxer-primed brass cases that can be reloaded multiple times. If you reload your own ammunition, the virgin brass gives you additional value and extends the life of each round.
How does the 180-grain bullet compare to lighter loads?
The 180-grain weight delivers heavier bullet mass for deeper penetration and a flatter trajectory compared to lighter .40 loads. You'll notice slightly more recoil, but it's still manageable and the tradeoff is worth it for many shooters who want more substantial ballistic performance.
Will this ammo work in my semi-automatic .40 pistol?
Federal American Eagle FMJ ammunition is designed for reliable feeding in modern semi-automatic pistols chambered in .40 S&W. The full metal jacket design minimizes feeding issues, though always verify that your specific firearm is chambered for .40 S&W before loading.
Is this the same quality as Federal's premium ammunition lines?
American Eagle uses the same Federal components and manufacturing standards as premium lines, but focuses on value pricing. All components are made in the same factory for consistent quality control, which is why this line has such a strong reputation for reliability at the range.
