Federal Premium 7mm Backcountry 155gr Terminal Ascent
Federal's innovative 7mm Backcountry delivers magnum velocity from shorter barrels without increased recoil. The 155-grain Terminal Ascent bullet reaches 3,300 fps with superior accuracy and deep penetration, ideal for compact, suppressed, and hunting rifles.
Federal Premium 7mm Backcountry Ammunition
Federal's 7mm Backcountry represents a genuine innovation in rifle ammunition design. This cartridge answers a critical market need: delivering magnum-class velocity from shorter barrels without the penalty of increased recoil.
The Cartridge
The 7mm Backcountry uses Federal's patented Peak Alloy steel case—a one-piece, high-strength design that outperforms conventional brass cases. Because the cartridge is dimensionally smaller than comparable brass-case magnums, it achieves these ballistic advantages through more compact rifles while fitting an extra round in the magazine of most platforms.
The Bullet
The 155-grain Terminal Ascent bullet is engineered for long-range hunting and precision shooting:
- Bonded construction penetrates deep on close targets while the patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities 200 fps lower than comparable designs
- AccuChannel groove technology improves accuracy and minimizes drag
- Extremely high ballistic coefficient reduces wind drift and drop
- Copper shank and bonded lead core retain weight for deep penetration at any range
Performance
- Muzzle velocity: 3,300 fps
- 20 rounds per box
- Optimized for shorter barrels to maximize velocity in compact or suppressed rifles
- Match-grade long-range accuracy in a bonded hunting bullet
The 7mm Backcountry delivers flat-shooting, powerful performance for any hunt and any range.
