7mm Backcountry Load Data & Ballistics Calculator

Estimate chamber pressure and muzzle velocity for the 7mm Backcountry with the free, in-browser MyLoads internal-ballistics simulator. The figures below are illustrative estimates from a physics model — not a recommended recipe. Always cross-check a current published loading manual.

7mm Backcountry reference

Maximum average pressure (MAP)80,000 psi
Nominal case capacity72.5 gr H₂O
Groove / bullet diameter0.284 in (7.21 mm)

Example simulation illustrative

Bullet
Barnes .284 168 gr LRX BT
Powder
Alliant Power Pro 4000 MR
Charge
54.5 gr
Barrel
20 in

Muzzle velocity

2,622 fps

Peak chamber pressure (interval, ±10% burn-rate)

34,636 – 49,365 – 67,948 psi

nominal is 62% of the 80,000 psi maximum average pressure

Illustrative example — every figure here is an estimate and can be wrong. Always consult a current published loading manual, and never trust these numbers on their own.
