“Federal Ammunition: The First Hundred Years” is a 244-page hardcover filled with pictures from 10 decades of company history.

As part of its 100-year anniversary celebration, Federal Ammunition has released a new hardcover retrospective titled Federal Ammunition: The First Hundred Years. Spanning 244 pages, this book highlights Federal’s cartridge production and innovation over the past century.

Organized by decade, each chapter of Federal Ammunition: The First Hundred Years is packed with historical photos, including images of vintage packaging and marketing materials, plus unique company images and the stories behind them. And for the cover art, there is an original painting of the 1923 Federal factory.

“It’s impossible to tell every tale in our history, but what we have captured in this book highlights Federal’s journey over the last 10 decades,” said Federal Ammunition President Jason Vanderbrink. “From our humble beginning, the single most essential element of our overall success has been Federal’s longstanding commitment to building a superior product. We are proud of our accomplishments and are excited to share our history in this wonderful collection of stories.”

The new hardcover book arrives not long after Federal Ammunition celebrated its official 100th birthday last month.

“Our story of perseverance, imagination and innovation has been shaped by many business leaders before us,” added Vanderbrink. “Throughout Federal’s existence, we’ve shared this incredible ride with a supportive Anoka community, and our stories of growth and success are forever linked. Federal has been, and will always be, a service leader. It is an honor for me to be part of this company and an outstanding American manufacturing story as we celebrate and shape the next century.”

From the Federal Ammunition website: “This book is the reference standard for Federal’s next 100 years of business.”
