Federal Ammunition Gold Medal BackCountry ammunition in 7mm Backcountry (part no. P7BCLRX1) loads a 168-grain all-copper bullet for Federal’s purpose-built lightweight long-range hunting cartridge. The 7mm Backcountry platform was engineered from the ground up to give backcountry hunters magnum-class performance out of a lighter, more packable rifle system, and this loading pairs that cartridge with a lead-free, all-copper bullet for hunters who need nontraditional-bullet compliance. The 168-grain weight is tuned for the cartridge’s intended reach on big game at extended range. For hunters who want to travel light without giving up long-range capability or lead-free compliance, this rifle ammunition is built for that exact trade-off.
