Federal American Eagle AE10A is a softer-shooting 10mm practice load, a good fit for high-volume training and for shooters who are still getting comfortable with the cartridge. This listing is Federal American Eagle 10mm Auto 180 grain full metal jacket ammo, MPN AE10A, sold as a 1,000 round case.
Federal rates this load at 1,030 fps with 424 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That is a moderate 10mm load, below full-power hunting and woods loads, so recoil is more manageable during long sessions while still offering more energy than typical 40 S&W. The 180 grain FMJ bullet feeds reliably in modern 10mm pistols. A full metal jacket bullet does not expand, so this ammunition is for practice and familiarization rather than hunting or defense. Shooters who want practice ammo that matches a full-power load may prefer a hotter option.
This ammunition fits pistols and carbines chambered in 10mm Auto, including the Glock 20, 29, and 40, Springfield XD-M Elite and 1911 models in 10mm, Sig P320 XTEN, Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 10mm, Ruger SR1911 10mm and GP100 10mm, Colt Delta Elite, Kimber Camp Guard, and the Kriss Vector. A common question is whether lighter-recoiling 10mm loads cycle every pistol. Most modern 10mm pistols run this load well with factory springs, but heavily sprung or customized guns may prefer hotter ammunition, so test a box first. Another common question is whether 10mm and 40 S&W are interchangeable. They are not. Only fire this ammunition in a firearm marked 10mm Auto.
Federal AE10A is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive, and 10mm brass is valued by handloaders. This case comes in factory packaging as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds of 10mm Auto 180 grain FMJ.
