Federal P7Bceh1 Backcountry 7Mm Bc 195Gr 20 Per Box/10 Case$80.99
Availability: In Stock
Federal's 7mm Backcountry ammunition loaded with Barnes LRX 168-grain bullets represents a significant shift in how modern rifle ammo is engineered. This isn't just another magnum round—it's a complete rethinking of what's possible when you move beyond traditional brass casings. The 7mm Backcountry uses Federal's proprietary Peak Alloy case technology, a steel-alloy construction that allows significantly higher chamber pressures than conventional brass, resulting in velocities and energy levels that rival full-power magnum cartridges while maintaining shootable recoil characteristics. This makes it ideal for hunters and long-range shooters who want magnum performance from compact or suppressed rifles without the punishing kick.
The Barnes LRX bullet itself brings proven terminal performance to the equation. Its all-copper construction, high ballistic coefficient, and polymer tip are designed to deliver consistent, controlled expansion across a wide range of distances. Whether you're hunting at close range in thick timber or stretching shots to extended yardage in open country, the LRX is built for reliable performance. The combination of the advanced case technology and premium bullet makes this an excellent choice for backcountry hunters and precision riflemen who demand both velocity and reliability from a modern platform.
Federal has specifically engineered this cartridge to work with shorter barrels—meaning you get magnum-class ballistics without the length penalty of traditional long-range rounds. From a 20-inch barrel, you'll see 3,000 fps at the muzzle; from a 24-inch barrel, that jumps to 3,150 fps. That velocity retention downrange translates to flatter shooting trajectories and reduced wind drift—critical advantages when you're hunting at distance or shooting in variable conditions. This round is reloadable when using Federal's published load data and processes, giving handloaders another avenue to extend their supply.
Each box contains 20 rounds, and this listing covers a case of 10 boxes (200 rounds total). It's a practical quantity for serious hunters and shooters who want to build a solid supply of a premium, modern cartridge.
| Cartridge | 7mm Backcountry |
| Bullet Weight | 168 grains |
| Bullet Type | Barnes LRX (all-copper, polymer tip) |
| Rounds Per Box | 20 |
| Boxes Per Case | 10 |
| Total Rounds | 200 |
| Case Material | Peak Alloy (proprietary steel alloy) |
| Muzzle Velocity (20" barrel) | 3,000 fps |
| Muzzle Velocity (24" barrel) | 3,150 fps |
| Muzzle Energy (20" barrel) | 3,357 ft-lbs |
| Muzzle Energy (24" barrel) | 3,701 ft-lbs |
The 7mm Backcountry uses Federal's Peak Alloy case—a proprietary steel-alloy design—instead of brass. This allows significantly higher chamber pressures, delivering magnum-class velocities and energy from shorter barrels with less recoil. The cartridge is also dimensionally smaller than traditional magnum cases, which means it fits shorter rifles and allows one extra round in most magazines.
Yes, the Peak Alloy cases are reloadable when you follow Federal's published lab-tested load data and reloading processes. Always consult Federal's official guidelines to ensure safe reloading.
Yes. The 7mm Backcountry was specifically engineered to deliver high performance through shorter barrels and suppressed platforms, making it an excellent choice for hunters and shooters using those systems.
From a 20-inch barrel, you'll see 3,000 fps muzzle velocity; from a 24-inch barrel, 3,150 fps. The fast velocity retention downrange means flatter trajectories and less wind drift at extended ranges. For example, from a 24-inch barrel at 500 yards, the round retains 2,265 fps with 1,913 ft-lbs of energy.
