Brown Bear is the brand name of the Barnaul Machine Plant, a major ammunition factory in Barnaul, Russia. The company dates back to the era of the czars. Founded in St. Petersburg in 1869, it moved to Moscow after Russia's exit from World War I and was evacuated to Barnaul as the Nazis approached Moscow during World War II. A month after the move, the plant made its first shipment to the Soviet military. By the end of the war, 50% of the cartridges used by Soviet soldiers were Barnaul-made, a significant contribution to the Allied victory against the Nazis. Today, the Barnaul plant continues to produce ammunition, particularly shotgun and rifle cartridges.

Q: Are these lead rounds, or steel. Thanks.

A: Hello Scott!
This Brown Bear ammunition is loaded with a lead core, bi-metal jacketed projectile. As a result, the jacket does contain steel and will not pass any type of magnet test.
Q: Is this brass reloadable

Q: Are these 7.62x39mm Ammo by Brown Bear - Polymer Coated - 123gr FMJ rounds lead core or steel core?
Posted On: 6/4/2014 By: Marc
A: Hello Marc,
These 123gr. FMJ rounds by Brown Bear in 7.62x39 have a lead core, but they do have a steel case which will attract a magnet. The best bet for ranges that do not allow magnetic rounds are brass cased rounds which do not attract a magnet.
