Federal Gold Medal 7mm Backcountry with Berger Elite Hunter
Experience revolutionary long-range hunting performance with Federal Gold Medal 7mm Backcountry ammunition. This groundbreaking cartridge combines Federal's proprietary Peak Alloy steel case technology with the renowned Berger Elite Hunter bullet to deliver true magnum velocities from compact, suppressor-friendly rifle platforms. Launching a 195-grain Berger Elite Hunter projectile at 3000 fps, this load provides exceptional downrange energy and a flatter trajectory than traditional 7mm magnums—all from shorter 20-inch barrels without punishing recoil.
The Berger Elite Hunter bullet features one of the industry's highest ballistic coefficients (.755 G1) in a hunting projectile, combining a hybrid ogive design with a thin jacket for devastating terminal performance. Upon impact, the bullet produces extreme hydrostatic shock and a massive wound cavity, ensuring ethical, one-shot kills on big game at extended distances. The Peak Alloy case technology allows the 7mm Backcountry to operate at higher chamber pressures than brass-cased ammunition while maintaining safe bolt thrust levels, resulting in velocities that rival or exceed longer-barreled magnum cartridges.
Loaded to Federal Premium's exacting standards with match-grade components, this ammunition delivers exceptional accuracy and consistency for serious backcountry hunters who demand maximum performance from lightweight, maneuverable rifles. The dimensionally compact cartridge also provides increased magazine capacity compared to traditional magnum rounds, giving you that critical extra round when it matters most in the field.
