Barnaul builds all of its ammo using premium steel cases. Both cases and bullets come out of the company’s facility in Russia. Barnaul applies an advanced, high-temperature polymer coating to the steel. It ensures reliable operation in U.S.-manufactured firearms with close machining tolerances, according to Barnaul. Designed for high-temperature and full-auto conditions, the load also includes non-corrosive powder and primers.
For those that like to shoot, steel cases can knock around half of the retail price off a manufactured load. So for anyone serious about their defensive training, or shoots to compete, Barnaul’s new steel-case cartridges deserve a look.
