Remington Ammunition is proud to add the award-winning 7mm Backcountry hunting cartridge to its Core-Lokt Tipped product line as a new product for 2026. The 7mm Backcountry high-performance cartridge uses the proprietary Peak Alloy case technology to deliver high velocities from shorter barrels, making it ideal for hunting with suppressors. The new Core-Lokt Tipped 175-grain load is currently shipping to dealers nationwide.

"Core-Lokt Tipped delivers outstanding on-game performance with improved accuracy and long-range potential," said Kris Carson, Centerfire Product Director at Remington. "Core-Lokt Tipped flies truer, flatter, and has devastating terminal energy. It's the consistent choice for serious hunters globally. Loaded in the new 7mm Backcountry cartridge, it's fair to say the legend of Core-Lokt has become even more legendary."

7mm Backcountry provides superior ballistics and terminal performance through compact, shorter-barreled suppressed rifles, producing 3,000 fps velocities with 175-grain bullets through 20-inch barrels. The cartridge achieves all of this through the patented Peak Alloy case. The next-generation, one-piece case design of an advanced, high-strength alloy allows higher velocities than modern brass-cased ammunition.
