Sometimes products don’t need to be completely new to be good. Sometimes we just want them to remind us of simpler times or perhaps even better times. If you’re a fan of retro rifle builds, old hunting rifles, or even old smell and glass bottles of products like Hoppe’s No 9 Bore Solvent, then you’ll like this new offering from Federal Premium Ammunition. Federal is excited to announce that they’re celebrating 100-years of being in business with the release of their new limited-edition 100-year Anniversary Rifle Ammunition Packaging being featured first with Federal’s centerfire rifle ammo lineup with handgun and shotgun 100-year anniversary ammo packaging coming soon.
Limited Edition 100-Year Anniversary Rifle Ammo Packaging from Federal
The new packaging will be available in limited quantities which seems like this would make them collector’s items. However, if they are all you can find on the shelf or online then you’ll be interested to know that the 100th Anniversary Rifle Ammo packaging will still contain the same quality ammunition you’ve come to expect from Federal. The ammunition will feature the same performance as Federal Premium’s Power-Shok equivalent and as of right now, only rifle ammunition in 30-30 Win, 30-06 Sprg, and 45-70 Govt have been released so far on the Federal Premium website. These offerings will be available in 150-grain, 180-grain, and 300-grain offerings respectively.
Federal will also soon be offering limited edition packaging for their handgun and shotshell loads that follow the same vein of commemorating Federal Premium Ammunition’s 100-years of being in business and producing ammunition for American customers. We’d like to hear your thoughts on this new retro rifle ammunition packaging. Does this style of packaging bring back fond memories of hunting with your dad or does it elicit other feelings from you? Let us know down in the comments!
The commemorative rifle packaging, circa 1963, will be available in limited quantities. The loads themselves offer all the same features and performance of their modern Federal Power-Shok equivalent. Calibers included in the 100-year anniversary packaging include 30-30 Win., 30-06 Spring., and 45-70 Govt.
“For Federal Ammunition fans that are looking for a bit of nostalgia, this classic packaging option on select rifle loads is a really fun option,” said Mike Holm, Federal’s Product Director of Rifle Ammunition. “In celebration of Federal’s 100-year anniversary, this limited retro packaging is the perfect addition to any collectors’ shelves, or ready to head to the field and be put to use.”
