This video debunks the myth that solid copper bullets require extremely high velocities for effective hunting performance. Through ballistics gel testing and analysis of 7 PRC loads using Barnes TTSX and LRX bullets, Gavin Gear demonstrates excellent expansion and weight retention across a wide velocity range, including lower velocities equivalent to longer ranges. The testing highlights the versatility and effectiveness of modern monolithic copper projectiles for various hunting scenarios and legal requirements.

This review introduces Federal's new 7mm Backcountry cartridge, a steel-cased round designed for high performance comparable to magnum cartridges but fitting standard-length rifle actions. The steel case allows for higher pressures (around 80,000 PSI) compared to traditional brass cases (mid-60,000s PSI), with the case itself acting as a containment vessel. This design enables the use of shorter barrels and suppressors while maintaining significant ballistic capability, making it advantageous for modern hunting scenarios.

This video introduces the Federal 7mm Backcountry, a new centerfire cartridge designed for big game hunting from short-barreled rifles. It highlights the cartridge's ability to achieve high muzzle velocities comparable to longer barrels due to increased pressure and a novel steel alloy case. The discussion also covers its ballistic performance and compares it to other 7mm magnum cartridges.

This episode of Gun Talk Hunt features a road trip to New Mexico for cow elk hunting, focusing on testing new ammunition and gear. The discussion highlights the new Federal 7mm Backcountry cartridge, its performance characteristics, and the potential for reloading. The team also reviews various hunting optics and firearms, sharing insights on their effectiveness and value for backcountry hunting scenarios.

This video details an elk hunt utilizing the 7mm PRC cartridge with Barnes 145-grain LRX copper bullets. The host, an experienced reviewer, guides his son through the process, emphasizing proper shooting techniques from a stable tripod platform and evaluating the terminal performance of lead-free ammunition. The content highlights the importance of rifle zero verification and understanding potential shooter errors in high-pressure hunting situations.

This review of the Savage 110 Ultralight highlights its exceptional performance for backcountry hunting. The rifle features a lightweight Proof Research carbon-wrapped barrel and user-adjustable AccuTrigger, delivering sub-MOA accuracy. Expert analysis confirms its ability to maintain accuracy even under rapid firing conditions, making it a top value proposition.

This video from NRA Publications features Joe Kurtenbach discussing the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge. It highlights the cartridge's development, its adherence to Roy Weatherby's 'velocity kills' philosophy, and its impressive performance metrics. The discussion includes specific load data, field testing results demonstrating sub-MOA accuracy at 1,000 yards, and its compatibility with the Weatherby Mark V Accumark rifle.
