If you’re in the game of crafting new cartridges like many ammunition manufacturers, you understand how difficult it can be to create something that sticks. It needs to deliver something new to the market, solve an issue or problem, and hopefully have widespread adoption by firearm manufacturers. Federal may have all of that – and more – with their new 7mm Backcountry round that they announced today.

Federal’s Newest Cartridge – 7mm Backcountry
With any new cartridge, we all typically ask ourselves: “How is this different from others? And, why should I buy in?” For Federal, they can easily answer that question with 3 powerful points.
- THE FASTEST CARTRIDGE – 7mm Backcountry utilizes a revolutionary high-strength case technology that results in the fastest production 7mm rifle cartridge on the planet.
- SHORT BARRELS AND SUPPRESSORS – This extreme speed allows for flat shooting while enabling the hunter to shoot a shorter barrel rifle to take advantage of a suppressor.
- HEAVY BULLETS WITH HIGH BC – The non-magnum-size cartridge retains magazine capacity and can be loaded with heavy bullets for greater ballistic coefficients and down-range performance.
A Word from Federal on the NEW 7mm Backcountry
As modern hunters, we all want to tote rifles that have shorter barrels, are lighter, suppressed, and we simultaneously want all of the ballistic advantages that we can get. Federal goes on to explain why the 7mm Backcountry is not just another cartridge; rather, something truly new and unique to the world of hunting and shooting.
“Federal’s 7mm Backcountry is an entirely new 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.
The 7mm Backcountry cartridge achieves all of this through its patented Peak Alloy case. Built of an advanced steel alloy that’s totally unlike the steel used in low-cost range ammunition, 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.”
Parting Shots
Currently, there are 83 SKUs of rifles available in 7mm Backcountry with that list growing daily. This includes such manufacturers as Savage Arms, Christensen Arms, Proof Research, Weatherby, and many more. So, this already appears like a cartridge that we are going to be seeing all year long in 2025 and long into the future as well.
