Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition suitable for coyote hunting, or is it best for smaller varmints?

The consistent Federal primer and uniform powder charges support reliable feeding and extraction across a wide variety of platforms, from Ruger and Savage bolt guns to AR-style varmint rifles.
Are the brass cases reloadable, and are they boxer-primed?
Yes. Federal American Eagle ammunition is loaded in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases, making it an excellent choice for hand-loaders.
