Remington Launches Three New Loads in the Popular 7mm Backcountry Cartridge
Click image to enlarge and download.LONOKE, Ark. - January 19, 2026 - Remington Ammunition announces that several of its time-tested product lines will load the popular, new, and award-winning 7mm Backcountry hunting cartridge as three new products for 2026.
The 7mm Backcountry high-performance cartridge utilizes the proprietary Peak Alloy case technology to deliver high velocities from shorter barrels, making it ideal for hunting with suppressors. Three new loads include Core-Lokt 175-grain, Core-Lokt Tipped 175-grain, and Premier® Long Range Speer Impact 175-grain.
“Remington's Premier Long Range ammunition, featuring Speer Impact bullets, brings precision and bone-crushing performance to the farthest reaches,” explained Remington’s Centerfire Product Director, Kris Carson. “Its tough, bonded construction, and the Slipstream Polymer Tip helps the bullet to open effectively and efficiently for the ultimate in terminal performance. In addition, the highest quality Remington primers and propellants are used to help deliver Premier performance. This might be Remington's deadliest big game ammunition yet.”
“With the tipped version, it's fair to say the Core-Lokt legend just became more legendary,” continued Carson. “Core-Lokt Tipped delivers outstanding on-game performance with improved accuracy and long-range potential. Core-Lokt Tipped flies truer, flatter and has devastating terminal energy. It's the consistent choice of serious hunters all over the world.”
“Since 1939, more hunters have relied on standard soft-point Remington Core-Lokt than any other big game ammunition, and rightly so,” concluded Carson. “It’s our best-selling hunting ammunition of all time due to its consistent results on a huge variety of game. Hunters across the globe know it and trust it as the deadliest mushroom in the woods.”
7mm Backcountry provides superior ballistics and terminal performance through compact, shorter-barreled suppressed rifles, producing 3,000 fps velocities with 175-grain bullets through 20-inch barrels. The cartridge achieves all of this through the patented Peak Alloy case. The next-generation, one-piece case design of an advanced, high-strength alloy allows higher velocities over modern brass case ammunition.
Attendees of the 2026 SHOT Show, January 20-23 at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada, are encouraged to stop by Booth No. 11838 for a first-hand look at these new products and more.
