Heritage & History
Federal Premium Ammunition was founded in 1922 in Anoka, Minnesota, by Charles Horn, who saw an opportunity to provide quality ammunition to American hunters and sport shooters at accessible prices. The company built its reputation on consistency and reliability — properties that matter enormously in a category where every cartridge must perform the same way. Federal grew into one of the largest American ammunition manufacturers, eventually becoming part of Vista Outdoor alongside other premium ammunition brands.
Federal's innovations include the Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet for large and dangerous game, and the HST defensive handgun bullet. The company acquired Berger Bullets, adding Berger's premium competition bullet designs to the Federal line. Today Federal Premium serves hunters, competitive shooters, law enforcement, and military customers with ammunition manufactured entirely in Anoka.
Made in Anoka, Minnesota
Federal Premium manufactures all of its ammunition at the Anoka, Minnesota facility. The ammunition manufacturing process involves drawing brass cases from raw material, forming primers, loading powder charges to tight tolerances, seating bullets, and crimping cases — all in a highly controlled manufacturing environment where consistency is measured by the fraction of a grain. The Anoka plant employs thousands of workers and processes millions of rounds daily.
Anoka is a northern Minneapolis suburb, and Federal is one of the largest employers in the region. The company's commitment to Anoka manufacturing — maintained through decades of competitive pressure — reflects both the quality advantages of American-controlled production and the company's connection to the hunting and shooting community that has been buying Federal ammunition since 1922.
