A box of ammo.

Federal Ammunition recently introduced the innovative 7mm Backcountry, now hitting retailer shelves nationwide. This long-action hunting cartridge redefines performance for non-magnum, centerfire rifle loads. With cutting-edge technology, it’s a must-have for hunters seeking precision and power.

The 7mm Backcountry lineup includes the Fusion Tipped 175-grain and Barnes LRX 168-grain options. Retailers across the country are stocking up on these high-performance rounds. Designed for standard bolt-face rifles, this cartridge delivers magnum-level results effortlessly.

Federal’s patented Peak Alloy case technology powers the 7mm Backcountry. This one-piece, high-strength design ensures reliability and boosts velocity. For instance, with a 170-grain bullet through a 20-inch barrel, it reaches an impressive 3,000 feet per second.

Fusion Tipped 175-Grain: Precision Meets Power

The Fusion Tipped 175-grain builds on Federal’s trusted Fusion line. Hunters already love its accuracy and reliability for big game. Now, with a polymer tip, it offers enhanced range and devastating impact.

“Fusion Tipped debuted last year, evolving from our popular Fusion soft-point,” said Miller from Federal. “Molecular bonding and a streamlined tip let it excel at long distances. It hits 2,975 fps with a G1 BC of .575.”

Barnes LRX 168-Grain: All-Copper Excellence

Meanwhile, the Barnes LRX 168-grain caters to hunters preferring an all-copper bullet. Its high ballistic coefficient and unique nose cavity ensure lethal performance. Whether at close range or afar, it delivers.

“Barnes is a legendary name in hunting ammo,” Miller added. “This load achieves 3,000 fps and a G1 BC of .513. Plus, its polymer tip enhances accuracy and stopping power.”

Availability and Pricing

You can find these rounds at dealers nationwide or online. Here’s the breakdown:

  • F7BCTFS2: 175-grain Fusion Tipped, MSRP $62.99
  • P7BCLRX1: 168-grain Barnes LRX, MSRP $81.99

Why 7mm Backcountry Stands Out

Transitioning to this cartridge means unmatched performance without magnum complexity. Its versatility suits various hunting scenarios, from dense woods to open plains. Consequently, it’s quickly becoming a favorite among enthusiasts.

Federal Ammunition continues to innovate, blending tradition with technology. The 7mm Backcountry proves they’re ahead of the curve. So, gear up, hit the range, and experience the difference firsthand.
