New Federal 7mm Backcountry “Ammunition Reinvented”

I am trying to learn about this new caliber. And am not promoting or selling anyone on it. And I’m certainly not selling all my 24” musket length rifles

This is just the beginning of this new technology. The military is moving in this direction. I’m guessing more manufacturers are scrambling to move this technology into other calibers.

Shorten the barrel with non magnum length actions. Heavy bullets. Same velocity as magnums. No need for lugging 24 - 26” musket barrels.


 
I know many shooter/hunters here in Canada are still trying to build or acquire a 7PRC from three years back, then comes all the new and greatest rave 280ai, guys pulling barrels off, selling, buying .284 barrels, trying to get them chambered or installed, waiting lists for months.

Now comes the Back country lol!!

These marketing people love u-tube and the hunting shows……guys gotta have the latest and greatest $$$$$$. If you can’t get 3000fps out of a 175gr bullet and make shots out to 800 yards…..buy the latest and greatest and it will do it for you just open your wallet and squeeze the trigger!

Likely stay with my 7x64, 160gr Accubond @ 2890fps and just get closer than 800 yards.
