Fiocchi USA has announced the release of Backwoods Hunter, a line of centerfire rifle ammunition engineered to deliver performance and lethality in the field at an affordable price point. Featuring a precision-engineered copper hollow point (CHP) projectile, Backwoods Hunter is built for hunters who demand devastating terminal ballistics.

"Backwoods Hunter represents a fusion of effectiveness, efficiency, and affordability," said Chris Tinkle, VP of Sales at Fiocchi of America. "This line is purpose-built for those who expect clean, consistent performance from their ammunition—whether they're hunting whitetail in the Midwest, black bear in the Rockies, or hogs in the South."

Backwoods Hunter loads incorporate a monolithic all-copper hollow point designed to expand aggressively on impact while retaining weight and driving deep. This promotes superior pass-through penetration and massive energy transfer—resulting in clean, ethical kills on a wide range of game, including deer, hogs, black bear, and coyotes.

Backwoods Hunter is available in the following calibers: .243 Winchester, .270 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08 Remington, 7mm Remington Magnum, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum. All loads come packaged in 20-round boxes with 10 boxes per case.
