SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Elite Hunter BackCountry 7mm 195 Grain is built for hunters who demand magnum performance from compact, short-barreled, or suppressed rifles. If you need hard-hitting energy, flat trajectories, and consistent downrange behavior without carrying a full-length magnum platform, this cartridge was made for you. At 195 grains, the BackCountry load balances sectional density and velocity to produce reliable terminal performance, while its design is optimized to unlock maximum speed from shorter barrels and suppressed systems where conventional magnums fall short.
Ballistically, the hybrid ogive profile blends the best aspects of tangent and secant nose shapes to give the bullet a flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift, so you can trust repeatable holdovers at extended ranges. Consistent core weight across each projectile improves stability and repeatability shot to shot, which translates to tighter groupings and more predictable impacts where it counts. The boat-tail geometry further enhances aerodynamic efficiency, especially as the bullet transits toward subsonic velocities, preserving energy and reducing drag on long shots.
What really sets the BackCountry round apart is the patented, one-piece Peak Alloy steel case. Engineered for high strength and dimensional precision, Peak Alloy cases outperform conventional brass in several practical ways: they allow for thinner overall cartridge profiles that still withstand magnum pressures, they reduce extractor and feed stress in compact actions, and they make it possible to stack more rounds into the same magazine space—giving you increased capacity over traditional magnum cartridges. For hunters who carry lighter rigs and shorter rifles into remote country, that extra magazine capacity and reliable feeding are tangible advantages.
This ammunition was purpose-built for modern hunting platforms—short barrels, suppressed rifles, and compact bolt actions—so you get magnum-class terminal performance without the penalties of bulk and length. Each lot is manufactured to tight tolerances and inspected for consistency, because real performance starts with uniform components. Whether you’re stalking timbered hills, glassing sage flats at long range, or packing into alpine country where every ounce matters, Elite Hunter BackCountry 7mm 195 Grain brings a practical, high-performance solution for hunters who refuse to compromise.
