ANOKA, Minnesota - October 17, 2025 - 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. Federal has recently published reloading data on its brand website’s product information page.

One of the marvels of Federal’s 7mm Backcountry cartridge is that it’s built with exclusive new materials and technologies, allowing it to perform far beyond conventional ammunition. And it retains that all-so-important ability to be reloaded. Earlier this year, Federal posted a short video showing the process as well as the performance of handloaded rounds.

Shooters can now start handloading the world’s most advanced 7mm cartridge with Federal’s reloading data and recommendations. The company has recently posted a reloading data sheet and other information on its brand website.

Federal Ammunition has recently partnered with several reloading tool and die companies to produce the equipment needed to reload the cartridge. The first release is from Lee Precision, Inc. The new Lee 7mm Backcountry Micrometer Full Length Die Set includes a Full Length Sizing Die, Universal Flaring Die, Micrometer Bullet Seating Die, Universal Shell Holder, Powder Dipper, and instructions with load data. The company also has an accessory, the Lee Factory Crimp die, available to aid in reloading the cartridge.

Federal Ammunition products are available at dealers nationwide and online. For more information on all Federal products and to sign up for notifications about new product availability, rebate promotions, and other brand news via email, visit www.federalpremium.com.
