Federal 7mm Backcountry 170gr Terminal Ascent

Federal 7mm Backcountry is a high-performance, all-range cartridge that reinvents ammunition as we know it. It not only provides superior ballistics and terminal performance, it does so through compact, shorter-barreled suppressed rifles, producing 3,000 fps velocities with 170-grain bullets through 20-inch barrels. The cartridge achieves all of this through the patented Peak Alloy case. Built of an advanced, high-strength steel alloy, the next-generation, one-piece case design allows higher velocities over modern brass case ammunition. And because the cartridge is dimensionally smaller than its closest brass-case counterparts, 7mm Backcountry achieves these ballistic advantages through smaller rifles and with an extra round in the magazine of most platforms.
