Federal vs American Eagle

Post by Orion »

Champion's Choice sells American Eagle both in 45 and 9mm.

What is the difference between the two?

Thanks.

As far as I know, American Eagle is sort of like the low-end version of Federal's stuff, then they have a Champion which is the mid-grade, and then Gold Medal which is the top shelf stuff.

For the long line, Gold Metal is good stuff. Probably overkill if you are shooting at 50' / 25 yards.

Might also check out ASYM Precision. They are making some very good ammo as well.

Dunno what kinda pistol you have, but my Browning 9mm swears by Amer Eagle 9mm! Also much nicer to shoot than Fiocchi etc.

CC sells American Eagle for $16/box (9mm), which is odd, because regular Federal goes for about $10.

Ive been shooting it in my .22's . They seem to be desent . I bought a brick the other day and by mistake grabbed the wrong box....38gr HP's they still seem to shoot well enought ... didnt have any flyers that I couldnt explain....seems to me just about anything will work in the rimfires ..I have no doubt that they will cut the x-ring if you can hold it there....been doing alot of timed and rapid fire practice here lately so I figured I'd just grab something cheap.....Been useing alot of federal rimfires here lately and I find that the AE, Champoin , and the lightning all shoot well enought for use ....still prefer CCI std but I cant always find it...and the federal seem better at least in my guns than the blazer ammo but thats still not a bad rd either.......I think where the rimfire is concerned marksmen ship by far out weights ammo choice score wise...I really cant say any rimfire round that wont hold a 1'' at 50yds and until I can hold that well I'm just not to concerned which rd I put down range....of course I dont use remington to many FTF with those......
