Product Overview
Federal American Eagle 5.7x28mm brings a trusted American manufacturer into this European-developed cartridge. The 40-grain TMJ bullet at 1655 fps produces 243 ft-lbs of energy, placing it on the milder end of 5.7 loads. This is pure range ammunition designed for volume shooting. The Total Metal Jacket fully encapsulates the lead core, reducing airborne lead particles at indoor ranges while feeding smoothly in semi-auto actions.
The lower velocity compared to FN factory loads means slightly less barrel wear and reduced muzzle blast. For shooters putting hundreds of rounds downrange in a single session, these small differences add up over time. Federal's quality control and widespread availability make American Eagle a reliable choice when you need to stock up on practice ammo. It cycles well in both the Five-seveN pistol and PS90 carbine.
Budget-minded 5.7 shooters will find American Eagle easier on the wallet than premium FN-branded ammunition. The TMJ construction works well for accuracy drills, draw practice, and general familiarity training with your firearm. This is not a hunting or defensive load. It is straightforward range fodder from a manufacturer with decades of experience making consistent ammunition.
