Federal's New 7mm Backcountry

The following is direct from Federal's website:

Federal’s 7mm Backcountry is an entirely new high-performance, all-range cartridge that reinvents ammunition as we know it. It not only provides superior ballistics and terminal performance, it does so through compact, shorter-barreled suppressed rifles.

 

The 7mm Backcountry cartridge achieves all of this through its patented Peak Alloy case. The next-generation, one-piece design allows higher velocities over modern brass case ammunition. And because the cartridge is dimensionally smaller than its closest brass-case counterparts, 7mm Backcountry achieves these ballistic advantages through smaller rifles and with an extra round in the magazine of most platforms. In developing 7mm Backcountry, Federal’s team of engineers set out to design a cartridge that answers a market need that seemed unsolvable—magnum velocity out of shorter barrels without increasing recoil. They did, but in the process they produced true innovation, creating a new way to make rifle ammunition faster, flatter shooting and more powerful.

 

Multiple rifle manufacturers will be chambering for this impressive new caliber. We carry many of these manufacturers including: Weatherby, Christensen, Proof Research, and Geissele. Geissele introduced their first bolt action rifle, the King Hunter, exclusively in this caliber and Weatherby is chambering in multiple versions of both their 307 and Mark V rifles.
