Product lines (brands)
- BEAR series
- The BEAR series is a line of hunting ammunition. The cartridges use lead-cored Full Metal Jacketed, Soft-Point (Semi-Jacketed), or Hollow Point bullets, have steel cases with Berdan primers, and use a non-corrosive propellant. The sub-brands differ only in the protective coating used on the cartridge case.
- Brown Bear ammunition cartridges have a brown lacquer coating on the steel case.
- Silver Bear ammunition cartridges have a zinc coating on the steel case.
- Golden Bear[1] ammunition cartridges have a brass coating on the steel case.
- CENTAUR ammunition cartridges have a polymer coating on the steel case, are berdan primed, use non-corrosive Belgian-made propellants produced by P.B. Clermont S.A.,[2] and are loaded with American-made "tombac" jacketed bullets produced by Hornady Manufacturing Company.[3] Barnaul began a process of retooling in 2009[4] to produce a new line of higher-grade ammunition to compete in the American and European markets. This was either due to their previous products being compared unfavorably or because Russian ammunition has a stigma of being poorly made and unreliable. The first CENTAUR brand ammunition was produced in 2013.[5]
