Buy Federal MeatEater Ammo, Never Get Lost Again
Last updated: November 6, 2026 · Originally published June 5, 2020
Some people are born with a compass and astrolabe hard-wired into their brains; other people (like yours truly) would get lost in a phone booth if they could find one. But even those hunters whose enviable navigation abilities are built-in can’t tell where public land ends and private land begins without some help…and Federal Ammunition gets that. Right now, they’re offering a free two-month onX Hunt trial with the purchase of at least two boxes of Federal Ammunition’s MeatEater line up of ammunition (Federal Premium MeatEater Trophy Copper rifle, 3rd Degree or Bismuth shotshell ammunition, or CCI MeatEater Copper-22, Mini-Mag or Maxi-Mag rimfire ammunition).
What’s onX Hunt? Only the most intelligent and accurate GPS app on the market, of course, created by founder Eric Siegfried, who recognized the importance of accurate location data for explorers and hunters alike way back in 2009. The invention of the onX Chip was the reward of his work and desire and propelled onX as the first land data company of its kind. In 2013 his fledgling company advanced even further with the advent of the Hunt App, which took the outdoor tech industry to new levels by giving everyone comprehensive maps that include private landowner boundaries, landowner names, public-land boundaries and more.
With onX Hunt, you can e-scout with the desktop and phone-based app to make a pre-hunt game plan. Then hunters can use in-app features to make the most of real-time encounters, ensuring they are in the right place at the right time to harvest wild game. (Note: This promotion is for new onX Hunt members only.)
Of course, we’d be remiss to not mention that Federal Premium Trophy Copper is the freezer filler rifle ammunition of MeatEater’s Steven Rinella. The loads provide pinpoint accuracy and aggressive expansion, yet the copper, polymer-tipped bullet retains up to 99 percent of its weight for deep penetration on a wide range of medium and big game.
