July 2025 – CSG Member, Fiocchi of America, a global leader in defensive, target, and hunting ammunition, proudly announces the release of Backwoods Hunter™, a new line of centerfire rifle ammunition engineered to deliver uncompromising performance, affordability, and ethical lethality in the field. Featuring a precision-engineered copper hollow point (CHP) projectile, Backwoods Hunter is built for hunters who demand devastating terminal ballistics without sacrificing reliability or value.
“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 ensures 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.
Key Features:
- All-Copper Bullet Construction – Delivers deep penetration and controlled expansion for maximum energy transfer and consistent terminal performance.
- Flat-Shooting Accuracy – Engineered for precision at distance, making it equally effective from 40 yards to 300+.
- Clean-Burning Propellants – Reduces barrel fouling and enhances shot-to-shot consistency, requiring less maintenance between hunts.
- Versatile Game-Stopping Power – Designed to take on everything from whitetail to big-bodied black bears with confidence.
- Affordable Premium Performance – Brings high-end projectile technology to an accessible price point for today’s value-conscious hunter.
Backwoods Hunter is available in the following popular hunting calibers: .243 Win, .270 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm-08, 7mm Rem Mag, .308 Win, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Win Mag. All loads come packaged in 20-round boxes with 10 boxes per case.
