9mm – 115 Grain FMJ – Federal Champion Training – 200 Rounds

Whether you’re about to fire your first 9mm cartridge or your ten millionth, Federal’s Champion Training series ammunition always represents great value. This is a big, beefy 200-round box – perfect for a single serious target shooting session!

Look closely at this ammo’s packaging and you will notice its bullet is an FMJ RN. Federal’s full metal jacket is the bullet you want for target shooting with a semi-automatic. It is substantially more affordable because it lacks a nose cavity or any other feature which would have made its terminal ballistics suitable for self-defense. Its hard copper shell puts a stop to deformation that could cause a feeding jam or reduce accuracy. Its lack of any steel makes it nonmagnetic.

“RN” simply denotes this FMJ’s round nose profile, which does make it ever so slightly more ballistically efficient but which otherwise doesn’t noticeably impact performance. (Most 9mm FMJ bullets are round nose; we’re not sure why Federal decided to indicate that this ammo’s bullets are RN specifically, but who are we to second guess the old Minnesotan legend?)

This round’s bullet weighs in at 115 grains – the lightest bullet you’re likely to find on a a 9mm target load, and one which achieves a 1,180 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4” test barrel. Expect a cracking report upon ignition followed by a flat and easily-aimed trajectory!

Federal is one of America’s largest ammo manufacturers. Even their basic target ammo sports reloadable brass cases, as well as the non-corrosive Boxer primers and low-residue powder which will keep your firearm shinier and more accurate in between cleanings.
