Federal Ammunition Showcases Its All-New 7mm Backcountry Hunting Cartridge at the 2025 SHOT Show
ANOKA, Minnesota – January 21, 2025 – Federal Ammunition recently launched an all-new centerfire rifle hunting cartridge, the 7mm Backcountry. This high-performance, all-range cartridge, with its innovative Peak Alloy case technology, rewrites the rules for modern ammunition. This entirely new cartridge will be showcased at the 2025 SHOT Show, January 21–24, at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada. Attendees are encouraged to stop by Booth No. 11838 for a first-hand look at the 7mm Backcountry and other new products.
7mm Backcountry provides superior ballistics and terminal performance through compact, shorter-barreled suppressed rifles, producing 3,000 fps velocities with 170-grain bullets through 20-inch barrels. The cartridge achieves all of this through the patented Peak Alloy case. The next-generation, one-piece case design of an advanced, high-strength alloy allows higher velocities over modern brass case ammunition.

Federal’s all-new 7mm Backcountry cartridge is dimensionally smaller than its closest brass-case counterparts, enabling it to achieve its ballistic advantages through smaller rifles and with an extra round in the magazine of most platforms.
All five of Federal’s 7mm Backcountry loads come in 20-count boxes and have velocity data tables for both 24- and 20-inch barrels on the packaging. This caters to modern hunters looking for high-performance ammunition for shorter rifle barrels to accommodate hunting with suppressors.
