Frequently Asked Questions

What is the new Federal 7mm Backcountry ammunition designed for?

Federal's 7mm Backcountry ammunition is engineered for use in shorter barrels, typically around 20 inches, and is optimized for suppressed firearms. It aims to deliver high velocities, around 3,000 feet per second, with heavier bullets like 170-grain.

What makes the Federal 7mm Backcountry cartridge unique in its construction?

The 7mm Backcountry utilizes a proprietary 'Peak Alloy Technology,' which employs a high-strength steel alloy case. This advanced material allows the cartridge to safely handle higher chamber pressures, enabling increased velocities and performance, especially from shorter barrels, surpassing traditional brass cases.

What are the new Mossberg 590M shotguns?

Mossberg has released new 590M Professional Series and Breacher shotguns that feature a magfed system. Unlike traditional tubular magazines, these shotguns use detachable box magazines, offering increased capacity and versatility for tactical and home defense applications.

How effective are smaller caliber firearms for home defense?

For home defense, the ability of the shooter to accurately place shots is paramount. Even smaller calibers like .22LR or .380 ACP can be effective if the user is proficient, as demonstrated by real-world scenarios where well-placed shots deter threats, regardless of extreme stopping power.
