Seven decades in and the 243 Winchester still runs flat, hits hard for its size, and keeps varmints and whitetails honest while treating your shoulder kindly.

Federal’s all-new 7mm Backcountry cartridge is a high-pressure, high-velocity cartridge that promises remarkable speeds and accuracy from short-barreled rifles.
