The Federal Premium 7mm Backcountry is built for hunters who want magnum-level performance in a compact rifle platform. Loaded with the proven 168 Grain Barnes® LRX™ bullet and housed in Federal's innovative Peak Alloy™ steel case, this ammunition is designed to deliver excellent accuracy, high velocity, and dependable terminal performance from both standard and shorter-barreled rifles.

The all-copper Barnes LRX™ bullet features a streamlined profile, polymer tip, and redesigned nose cavity to provide reliable expansion and deep penetration across a wide range of hunting distances. Its high ballistic coefficient minimizes wind drift and helps retain energy at extended range, while precision-engineered grooves reduce barrel fouling and contribute to consistent accuracy.

Federal pairs the Barnes LRX™ with Gold Medal® primers and specially formulated propellants, optimized to maximize velocity in shorter or suppressed rifles. The patented Peak Alloy™ one-piece steel case offers exceptional strength while allowing the 7mm Backcountry cartridge to achieve performance beyond conventional brass-case ammunition.

Whether you're hunting in the mountains, deep backcountry, or open country where long shots are possible, Federal Premium 7mm Backcountry delivers the speed, accuracy, and terminal performance serious hunters demand.
