Description

TERMIAL ASCENT 7MM BACKCOUNTRY RIFLE AMMO

TERMINAL ASCENT: 155 AND 170 GRAIN

Federal Premium’s flagship all-range big game bullet extracts the utmost performance from the 7mm Backcountry cartridge. Its bonded construction penetrates deep on close targets, while the patented Slipstream polymer tip initiates expansion at extreme long range. The 155-grain load is the fastest 7mm on the market, while the 170-grain achieves 3,000 fps out of a 20-inch barrel.

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. The next-generation, one-piece 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. In developing 7mm Backcountry, Federal’s team of engineers set out to design a cartridge that answers a market need that seemed unsolvable—magnum velocity out of shorter barrels without increasing recoil. They did, but in the process they produced true innovation, creating a new way to make rifle ammunition faster, flatter shooting and more powerful.

BALLISTICALLY BEST

Powered by Peak Alloy case technology, 7mm Backcountry can be loaded to higher chamber pressures than brass case counterparts. As a result, it produces higher muzzle velocities than comparable cartridges, retaining that velocity downrange for less drop and wind drift.

PEAK ALLOY CASE TECHNOLOGY

Patented Peak Alloy case technology is fundamentally different than brass cases. It utilizes a proprietary steel alloy that includes other unique elements. This same alloy is used in manufacturing safes, nuclear reactors and other high-strength applications. Peak Alloy allows Federal to safely increase chamber pressures far beyond the limits of brass case ammunition, significantly increasing velocity and energy. The Peak Alloy case is also reloadable when following Federal’s lab-tested processes and data.

SUPPRESSOR CONNECTION

With 7mm Backcountry, hunters shooting suppressed, compact rifles get back magnum velocities through 20-inch barrels. Due to its safe higher chamber pressures, a 7mm Backcountry 170-grain Terminal Ascent shot through a 24-inch barrel gives you a muzzle velocity of around 3150 fps, whereas a 7mm PRC with the same bullet generates about 3000 fps. Through a 20-inch barrel, 7mm Backcountry shoots approximately 3000 fps while the 7 PRC is only approximately 2850 fps.
