should I get a 7mm backcountry?

Lots of cartridges will do what you need, bullet choice may be the more important consideration.

I don`t hunt long range, but still want the extra "juice"

The OP said he doesn't hunt LR he didn't say he NEVER will maybe not at present time maybe down the road he might.
He did say he wants the extra " Juice".
Like I said I never build a gun to limit myself i suggest do the same, things change.
