Centerfire Ammo
Shop centerfire ammunition at Iron Desert Armory and discover reliable cartridges designed for hunting, target shooting, training, competition, and defensive applications. Centerfire ammunition is the most widely used type of modern ammunition and is available in a broad range of rifle and handgun calibers to support nearly every shooting discipline.
Unlike rimfire cartridges, centerfire ammunition utilizes a primer located in the center of the cartridge base. This design provides enhanced reliability, greater pressure capabilities, and support for larger calibers commonly used in rifles and handguns. Centerfire ammunition is favored by shooters for its versatility, performance, and broad firearm compatibility.
Popular centerfire rifle calibers include 5.56 NATO, .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Blackout, and .30-06 Springfield. Common handgun calibers include 9mm Luger, .45 ACP, .40 S&W, .380 ACP, and 10mm Auto. Each caliber offers unique characteristics tailored to specific applications ranging from target shooting and hunting to personal defense and competition.
Centerfire ammunition is available in numerous projectile types including full metal jacket (FMJ), jacketed hollow point (JHP), soft point (SP), ballistic tip, and match-grade loads. Shooters should select ammunition based on firearm compatibility, intended use, and performance requirements.
