Click image to enlarge and download.ANOKA, Minnesota - July 25, 2025 - Federal Ammunition launched 7mm Backcountry earlier this year, and retailers are stocking shelves with this revolutionary technology. This ground-breaking long-action hunting cartridge raises the bar for what a non-magnum, centerfire rifle hunting load can achieve. Federal Premium® Terminal Ascent 155-grain 7mm Backcountry loads are currently being delivered to retailers nationwide.
Federal Premium Terminal Ascent Bonded construction penetrates deep on close targets, while the patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs. The bullet's long, sleek profile offers an extremely high ballistic coefficient, and its AccuChannel groove technology improves accuracy and minimizes drag. The company touts this popular hunting bullet as the best-performing hunting projectiles it has ever built. Federal offers its 7mm Backcountry cartridge in both 155- and 170-grain Terminal Ascent bullet options.
“The 155-grain Terminal Ascent bullet has a high G1 Ballistic Coefficient of .586,” said Eric Miller, Federal’s Centerfire Rifle Product Line Manager. “Our 155-grain load is the fastest 7mm on the market with 3,150 fps out of a 20-inch barrel, and 3,300 fps out of a 24-inch barrel.”
Federal’s 7mm Backcountry is a new high-performance hunting cartridge boosted by all-new, patented one-piece, high-strength Peak Alloy case technology, which provides magnum performance in a standard bolt face rifle. Through 20-inch barrels and with 170-grain bullets, it can achieve 3,000 feet per second. To learn more, visit https://www.federalpremium.com/backcountry.html.
