U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently awarded Federal Premium a major ammunition contract. Starting delivery in 2019, the contract provides for up to 2,227,500 shells of 12-gauge 2-3/4 Inch, 00 Buckshot (Reduced Recoil) duty ammunition to multiple Department of Homeland Security law enforcement components and other federal agencies for up to five years. This contract will provide the organization's agents and officers with 12-gauge Tactical Buckshot duty ammunition.

"We are proud to provide the highest quality duty ammunition to DHS agents in the field," said Federal Ammunition President Jason Vanderbrink. "Officers in the field require the highest quality ammunition at their disposal, in their vigilant fight to protect our freedoms. Federal Tactical ammunition ensures the highest performance threshold, and absolute officer confidence in terminal performance."

Federal says its ammunition utilizes the highest quality Federal brass, projectiles, and primers. The ammunition awarded in this contract is similar to Federal's LE133 00 load. This Federal Law Enforcement shotgun ammo features a FliteControl wad. Tactical Buckshot also features copper-plated shot and recoil reduction that Federal says, when combined with the FliteControl wad, result in the most dependable and predictable pattern performance available.
