Federal has just announced two new 7mm Backcountry loads, Fusion Tipped 175-grain and LRX 168-grain.

7mm Backcountry is the hottest new cartridge on the block, not just because a lot of shooters are talking about it, but because its Peak Alloy cases allow it to achieve muzzle velocities of 3,000 fps. Federal has just announced two new 7mm Backcountry loads for big game hunters to choose from: Fusion Tipped 175-grain and LRX 168-grain.

Eric Miller, Centerfire Rifle Ammunition Product Line Manager at Federal Ammunition, said this about the Fusion Tipped 175-grain load:

Fusion Tipped was just released last year yet was born from its extremely popular Fusion soft-point cousin … Fusion’s molecular bonding paired with a streamlined polymer tip gives Fusion Tipped 7mm Backcountry the ability to go the distance and deliver a devastating blow to big game. This 175-grain bullet achieves 2,975 fps from a 20-inch barrel and has a G1 BC of .575.

Miller said this about the LRX 168-grain load:

Armed with a high ballistic coefficient, polymer tip, and unique nose cavity, the all-copper LRX takes down tough game at both close range and extended distances … Barnes is a well-known, well-established brand that needs little explanation. This 168-grain bullet achieves 3,000 fps from a 20-inch barrel and has a G1 BC of .513.

MSRP for the Fusion Tipped load is $62.99 per box and MSRP for the LRX load is $81.99 per box.
