Federal's 7mm Backcountry rifle ammunition with Fusion Tipped 175-grain bullets represents a genuinely innovative approach to magnum-velocity shooting from shorter barrels. If you're running a compact, suppressed rifle or just want flatter shooting with less recoil than traditional magnum rounds, this is the cartridge Federal built specifically for that job. The 175-grain Fusion Tipped projectile combines a streamlined polymer tip with molecularly bonded construction—delivering the aerodynamic performance and terminal reliability backcountry hunters expect.

What makes 7mm Backcountry fundamentally different is Federal's patented Peak Alloy case technology. Instead of brass, this proprietary steel-alloy construction (the same material used in safes and nuclear reactors) allows significantly higher chamber pressures than conventional brass-case ammo. That means you get magnum-level velocities and energy without the barrel length or recoil penalty. Out of a 20-inch barrel you're pushing 2,975 fps at the muzzle; from 24 inches, 3,125 fps. Either way, the cartridge retains velocity downrange for less wind drift and drop than comparable options. And because the round is dimensionally more compact than traditional 7mm magnums, you'll fit an extra round in the magazine of most platforms.

This is ammunition for hunters and precision shooters who value flat-shooting performance and terminal punch across medium to long ranges, whether from a suppressed rifle, a lighter mountain gun, or a modern short-action platform. Each box contains 20 rounds; this listing is for a case of 10 boxes (200 rounds total). Federal loads these rounds to their established ballistic specifications, and the Peak Alloy cases are reloadable when you follow Federal's published lab-tested data.
