Federal Ammunition was recently awarded contracts to supply two Canadian law-enforcement organizations with rifle and shotgun ammunition for duty and training purposes. The agreements will supply the Department of National Defense (DND) with .300 Blackout duty and training rounds, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) with 12-gauge slugs and buckshot duty loads.
“We are pleased to provide these organizations with our product lines,” said Randall Watkins, sales director, law enforcement and government at Federal Ammunition. “We look forward to growing our trusted ammunition product lines within Canada’s DND for use both domestically and abroad.”
Federal’s 110-grain Tactical Bonded .300 Blackout cartridges will fulfill DND’s requirement for supersonic rounds. Canadian officials selected Federal’s 108-grain Semi-Jacketed Frangible .300 Blackout cartridges for training rounds. Maximum volumes under terms of the agreement are 330,000 rounds and 530,000 rounds, respectively.
RCMP’s contract is for Federal's 12-gauge, 1-ounce Slug, Reduced Recoil Ammunition with a quantity of 51,000 cartridges and 12-gauge, 00 Buckshot, Reduced Recoil Ammunition with a quantity of 120,250 rounds. This contract has a 1-year base, with a 1-year possible renewal option.
“We previously serviced a 12-gauge duty contract with the RCMP,” Watkins said, “and we are proud to continue supplying them with our dependable products.”
In May 2025, Federal Ammunition was also awarded contracts with Correctional Services Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency and the nation’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Terms of those agreements included supplying up to 10 million rounds of 9 mm training and duty cartridges, as well as .308 Win., ammunition over a five-year timeframe.
Since 1922, Federal has been a leader in ammunition innovation, delivering high-quality sporting and hunting products to shooters worldwide. The company, headquartered in Anoka, Minn., is an ammunition brand of The Kinetic Group, owned by CSG, a globally diversified industrial firm based in Prague, Czech Republic.
