7MM Backcountry
Discover the Revolutionary Federal 7MM Backcountry Caliber in Christensen Arms Rifles
At Christensen Arms, performance is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our Ridgeline FFT and Evoke rifles are now chambered in Federal’s 7mm Backcountry caliber—a revolutionary cartridge that is transforming hunting and shooting.
What Makes the 7mm Backcountry Caliber a Game-Changer?
Federal’s 7mm Backcountry is more than just a new cartridge—it’s a paradigm shift in how ammunition is designed. Built with Federal’s patented Peak Alloy case technology, this cutting-edge cartridge offers:
- Magnum velocity and superior ballistics in shorter-barreled, suppressed rifles.
- Higher chamber pressures, resulting in greater velocity and energy than traditional brass cases.
- Compact dimensions, enabling the use of smaller, lighter rifles and an extra round in most magazines.
This cartridge is tailor-made for modern hunters who demand versatility, precision, and power without compromise.
Peak Alloy Case: The Future of Ammunition
The heart of the 7mm Backcountry lies in its Peak Alloy case, a revolutionary design made from a proprietary steel alloy. This material—used in high-strength applications like safes and nuclear reactors—delivers performance far beyond traditional brass cases. Here’s why it matters:
- Higher chamber pressures: Safely increasing chamber pressures allows for significantly greater velocity and energy.
- Lighter, more compact rifles: Hunters can carry less weight into the backcountry while maintaining powerful performance.
- Reloadable cases: With Federal’s lab-tested processes, Peak Alloy cases are as practical as they are innovative.
This advancement is as significant as the introduction of smokeless powder over a century ago. Federal has broken through the limitations of brass, unlocking the full potential of ammunition design and paving the way for a new generation of hunters and shooters.
Why the 7mm Backcountry Excels in Hunting Applications
For hunters, the demands of the backcountry are unforgiving. Success requires gear that performs flawlessly in challenging environments, where every ounce matters, and every shot counts. The 7mm Backcountry is uniquely designed to meet these needs:
- Long-range performance: The cartridge’s magnum velocities and flatter trajectories make it ideal for taking shots across open fields and mountain ridges.
- Lightweight design: Compact rifles paired with the smaller dimensions of the 7mm Backcountry reduce the load on extended hunts.
- Adaptability with suppressors: Modern hunters increasingly use suppressors for stealth and hearing protection. The 7mm Backcountry delivers magnum performance even with shorter barrels, ensuring you don’t sacrifice accuracy or energy.
Imagine pursuing mule deer across rugged peaks or tracking elk through dense timber. The 7mm Backcountry offers the velocity, energy, and precision needed to take down large game with confidence, even at extended ranges. When paired with Christensen Arms rifles, you have a setup that excels in every hunting scenario.

Suppressor-Ready Innovation
Suppressors are becoming a staple among hunters for their ability to reduce noise and recoil. But traditional cartridges often lose significant velocity when used with shorter barrels, creating a trade-off between practicality and performance. The 7mm Backcountry eliminates this compromise:
- A 20-inch barrel chambered in 7mm Backcountry rivals the performance of larger cartridges fired through 24-inch barrels.
- With a muzzle velocity of 3150 fps from a 24-inch barrel and 3000 fps from a 20-inch barrel, this cartridge ensures magnum performance in a more compact package.
For hunters navigating thick brush or climbing steep terrain, this innovation allows you to stay agile without sacrificing power or range.
