Federal Ammunition has expanded its 7mm Backcountry Elite Hunter ammunition line with new 195-grain loads, achieving high ballistic coefficients and lethal accuracy. Designed for compact rifles, these loads utilize innovative Peak Alloy case technology and deliver magnum performance. The 195-grain bullet reaches 2,850 fps from a 20-inch barrel.
Federal states “Federal Ammunition launched 7mm Backcountry earlier this year, and retailers are stocking shelves with this revolutionary technology. This ground-breaking long-action hunting cartridge raises the bar for what a non-magnum, centerfire rifle hunting load can achieve. Federal Premium® Elite Hunter 195-grain 7mm Backcountry loads are currently being delivered to retailers nationwide.
The Berger Elite Hunter offers some of the industry’s highest ballistic coefficients in a hunting bullet, and its thin-jacket design produces extreme hydrostatic shock and a massive wound cavity on impact. Loaded with Premium components to incredibly tight tolerances, the loads produce lethal accuracy at extended distances. Available in Federal’s all-new 7mm Backcountry cartridge, which provides magnum performance through compact, shorter-barreled, suppressed hunting rifles.
“We specifically designed all the dimensions of this new cartridge to be able to accept the longest, heaviest bullets the current marketplace has to offer, such as this one from Berger,” said Eric Miller, Federal’s Centerfire Rifle Product Line Manager. “The Berger Elite Hunter’s thin jacket produces effective shock and wound cavity on impact. This 195-grain bullet achieves 2,850 fps out of a 20-inch barrel and has a G1 BC of .755.”
Federal’s 7mm Backcountry is a new high-performance hunting cartridge boosted by all-new, patented one-piece, high-strength Peak Alloy case technology, which provides magnum performance in a standard bolt face rifle. Through 20-inch barrels and with 170-grain bullets, it can achieve 3,000 feet per second.”
