Federal Ammunition was recently awarded contracts to supply several Canadian law enforcement organizations with handgun and rifle ammunition for training and duty purposes.

These agreements will supply the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Parks Canada (PC), Correctional Services Canada (CSC), and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) agencies with up to 10 million rounds of 9mm training, 9mm duty handgun ammunition, and .308 Winchester rifle ammunition over a five-year timeframe.

“We, at Federal, provide the top-quality law enforcement and tactical products officers need to have full confidence in any situation, and that's why we offer several different training and duty loads,” said Peter Gillette, director of Government and International Sales. “This contract validates the high trust that international law enforcement agencies have in our highly reliable and innovative product, regarding dependability and terminal ballistics.”

Federal Ammunition products are available at dealers nationwide and online. For more information on all Federal products, visitfederalpremium.com.

Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
