Is the 7mm Backcountry the Future of Hunting Cartridges?
In this episode of the Huntin' Land Podcast , Eric Miller of Federal Ammunition joins the show to break down the innovative new 7mm Back Country cartridge. The conversation explores the cartridge’s cutting-edge peak alloy case technology, which allows for higher pressures and increased velocities—even from shorter barrels—delivering magnum-level performance in a standard long action. Eric and the hosts discuss its advantages for suppressed shooting, reduced recoil, and versatility across a range of game species. They also address important considerations like barrel life, reloadability, and real-world hunting applications.
