No one has more trigger time with the new 7mm BC — or more accuracy and velocity data — than our shooting editor john_b_snow.⁠
⁠
The Federal 7mm Backcountry is a new cartridge unlike anything we’ve seen to date. It uses a high-strength steel alloy case that can handle high chamber pressures to deliver magnum-level velocities from short-barreled rifles. On top of that, the 7mm Backcountry case is significantly smaller than a typical magnum. The silhouette of the 7 BC more closely resembles a .280 Remington than a 7mm Rem. Mag. or a 7mm PRC, yet it outperforms both those popular magnums with heavy-for-caliber bullets. There’s a lot to unpack with this new cartridge, but if you’re interested in learning more you’ve come to the right place. Over the last few months, Snow put 280 rounds downrange to gather accuracy and velocity data with all five initial factory loads. He shot the 7mm Backcountry through three different rifles and hunted with it extensively last fall; no one has had a more comprehensive look at the round.⁠
