During those times, we need product as well and we do pay higher price tag for it... Capitalism

Looks like this is loaded to 5.56 velocity but I've verified on other sites and at Federal, they do specifically make 5.56x45. Why then does your 5.56 selection navigate to only 223? - John (07/20/2020)

Response:Hi Bonnie, that is fine too, you can get all the other information such as the mailing address as well. Thank you for buying Federal 223 bulk ammo online at TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:I have tried to apply for the rebate online, only to be notified that the UPC code does not qualify. I will also try mailing it in. However, Target USA should contact Federal to determine if this does in fact, qualify. If not, the ad should be corrected. Thank you. The price is great, this is not a complaint so to speak, just asking for clarification. David - David (04/07/2018)
Response:Hi David, as far as we know ALL Federal American Eagle and CCI products qualify for the rebate. Can you please make sure you are typing in the correct UPC code and we will contact Federal?Vista on our end and find out more details. Thank you for buying ammo online at TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:I like what my friends call "Lake City ammo. The 55 grain FMJ had a NATO symbol and "LC" as part of the head stamp. Several vendors offer Federal 55s and 62s in different boxes. Some with American Eagle, others just "plain box" Federal. How do I determine which has the highly-reloadable "LC" brass? Rather than counted on (90% BS) forums, I just want to know what the "genuine LC/NATO stamp boxes look like. Thanks - jeff (02/21/2018)
Response:Hi Jeff, the easiest way to tell is by looking at the brass. If the brass is polished and shiny that means it comes from the Federal Ammunition Plant and it is not Mil-Spec Lake City. Lake City brass and ammunition goes through an annealing process and looks tarnished, but it is as you know better quality etc. Hopefully this information helps. Thank you for buying ammo at TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:Hi Someone else mentioned this as well, but I didn't seen an answer. The upc on the bulk loose 1,000 rds does not match the listed qualified upc on the rebate. What are our options? Thank you - Johnny (12/14/2017)
Response:It should match Johnny, we know for sure that this Federal American Eagle 223 Remington 1000 Rounds Loose pack qualifies for the rebate. Please call Federal/Vista directly and find out. Thank you for buying ammo at TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:Sure thing. I will contact Federal. It is off by one number. The rebate lists the UPC as 0-29465-59932-4 while the box has 0-29465-09932-4. - Johnny (12/14/2017)
Response:Sounds good Johnny
Question:Does Federal Ammo offer a $400. Rebate (LARGE PRINT) then Reads $200. Rebate (small print0 - Jerry (11/15/2017)
Response:Hi Jerry, Federal American Eagle rifle ammunition used to me $200.00 dollars max per household and then they changed it... extended the date and increased it to $400.00 dollars Cash Back until Dec 31st, 2017. Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:Do i need to cut the upc code on my Bulk box to send for rebate? - Don (07/26/2017)
Response:Yes, you will have to cut out the UPC Car Code from the outer box of the Federal American Eagle 223 Remington Ammo 55 Grain FMJ Bulk 1000 Rounds ammunition. Thank you for visiting TargetSportsUSA.com
Question:Are the primers crimped? - Michael (11/25/2014)
