Say “Hello!” to the second type of 7mm Backcountry ammunition Cheaper Than Dirt has ever offered for sale. Hopefully many more examples of this exciting cartridge will soon follow!
The 7mm BC may be relatively new at the time of writing, but this round’s Terminal Ascent is no new thing. It is an extraordinarily streamlined bullet, which sports Federal’s low-drag Slipstream polymer tip, AccuChannel groove technology (which minimizes bearing surface and drag alike), and a boat tail. When fired out of a 24” barrel, the 170 grain bullet attains 0.325 G7 BC and exhibits the ballistic performance detailed below. When fired out of a 20” barrel, the 170gr TA’s muzzle velocity drops to 3,000 fps (0.327 G7 BC).
The Terminal Ascent’s robustly bonded jacket stays mostly attached to its dense lead core during high-velocity impact. Its tip and nose cavity trigger significant expansion following impact at velocities as low as 1,500 fps!
