Federal Ammunition introduced the new 7mm Backcountry round at Shot Show 2025, designed for short-barreled rifles and suppressed platforms. This cartridge utilizes a novel Peak Alloy case, enabling significantly higher chamber pressures (up to 80,000 PSI) compared to standard cases (around 60,000 PSI). This allows for impressive velocity and terminal performance from shorter barrels. The ammunition features a 170-grain Terminal Ascent bullet, achieving 3,000 feet per second from a 20-inch barrel, offering a balance of rapid expansion and deep penetration for hunting applications. The Peak Alloy case is designed to be reloadable using standard dies.
