Federal Ammunition Unveils 7mm Backcountry Hunting Cartridge
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.”
