Federal Premium Gold Medal Action Pistol Ammunition 9mm Luger 147 Grain Full Metal Jacket

Federal Premium Gold Medal Action Pistol 9mm Luger ammunition is purpose-built for competitors who demand match-grade performance at the range. Loaded to power-factor specifications, this 147-grain FMJ load delivers the consistency and accuracy needed to place shots exactly where they matter in action shooting sports. Whether you're running IPSC, USPSA, or similar disciplines, Gold Medal Action Pistol is engineered to help you shoot your best when it counts.

The fully encapsulated bullet design minimizes lead exposure and simplifies cleanup—the Catalyst lead-free primer and specially formulated propellant mean less fouling on your gear and fewer toxins at the range. Federal loads these rounds to their tightest accuracy specifications and offers them in fresh, reloadable boxer-primed brass, so your practice rounds don't have to be one-time use.

At 900 feet per second, this load hits the target hard enough to knock down steel and paper alike while maintaining the flat trajectories and predictable energy (264 foot-pounds) that serious competitors expect. All that precision starts with Federal's commitment to consistency—every case is inspected, every primer is quality-checked, and every charge is weighed. It's the same exacting standard that makes Federal a go-to brand for hunters and competitive shooters across the country.
