Federal Premium 7mm Backcountry 195gr Berger Elite Hunter

Next-Generation Compact Magnum Performance

Federal Premium's 7mm Backcountry represents a genuine innovation in rifle ammunition design. This cartridge answers a critical market need: magnum velocity from shorter barrels without the recoil penalty of traditional magnum rounds.

The Berger Elite Hunter Advantage

Loaded with Berger Elite Hunter bullets, this ammunition delivers some of the industry's highest ballistic coefficients in a hunting round:

• Hybrid ogive design blends tangent and secant nose shapes for flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift
• Thin-jacket construction produces extreme hydrostatic shock and massive wound cavities on impact
• Highly concentric jacket maintains +/-.0003" Total Indicated Runout for lethal accuracy at extended distances
• Consistent core weight ensures reliable ballistics and superior accuracy
• Boat-tail profile provides aerodynamic advantage at longer ranges, especially during subsonic velocity transitions

Peak Alloy Case Technology

The revolutionary one-piece Peak Alloy steel case is the key to this cartridge's performance:

• Enables higher velocities than conventional brass-case ammunition
• Dimensionally smaller than comparable magnum cartridges
• Delivers magnum performance through compact, shorter-barreled, and suppressed rifles
• Provides increased magazine capacity—most platforms accept an extra round compared to traditional magnums
• Outperforms brass-case alternatives in velocity and efficiency

Built for Precision and Practicality

Federal Premium loads each round to incredibly tight tolerances, ensuring consistent performance downrange. The 195-grain Berger Elite Hunter bullet at 3,000 fps makes this ammunition ideal for hunters seeking extended-range capability without sacrificing rifle compactness or adding excessive recoil. Whether you're shooting a short-barreled hunting rifle, a suppressed platform, or simply prefer a more manageable recoil impulse, the 7mm Backcountry delivers the ballistic performance you need.
