Federal has long been at the forefront of ammunition innovation, and the 7mm Backcountry is no exception. This high-performance cartridge is designed to deliver magnum velocity and energy from shorter-barreled, suppressed hunting rifles—without the added recoil typically associated with such performance. At the heart of this advancement is Federal’s patented Peak Alloy steel case, a next-generation, one-piece design that enhances velocity beyond traditional brass cases while also allowing for increased magazine capacity in most rifle platforms.
Each round is loaded with a 168-grain Barnes LRX bullet, an all-copper projectile engineered for deep penetration and consistent expansion. The polymer tip boosts the ballistic coefficient while initiating rapid expansion upon impact, ensuring devastating terminal performance at both close and extended distances. Designed with a precision heel radius and grooved shank, the LRX reduces barrel fouling and enhances accuracy, making it an excellent choice for big game hunting. Federal’s use of Gold Medal primers and specially formulated propellants ensures consistent ignition and optimal ballistics, making this one of the most advanced hunting cartridges available today.
