This new offering from Barnaul delivers all the key features that have made its ammo the go-to choice of discerning, price-conscious shooters across two continents and at a very attractive price point.

Barnaul ammunition is built using premium steel cases with bullets that are manufactured at the company's facility in Russia.

The polymer coating on the cases is engineered to perform flawlessly even under high-temperature, full-auto conditions.
