I have two boxes of Barnaul bullets (250ct each) for reloading 7.62x39 and was interested in the history of these items. Looking on the net does not show these available as component bullets, only available as loaded ammo. Boxes marked "Bullet 7.62x39 SP 125gr 250 rds JSC Barnaul Machine-Tool Plant" and "Made in Russia". I am thinking they were likely imported in the 1990's maybe? Are these cheap import bullets for plinking or do they have any value to collectors? With the current prices some are paying for imported items like AK/ SKS that used to be considered 'cheap surplus' I was wondering the value of these. Here are a few pics:
*EDIT*
rufesnow,
The bullets stick to a magnet, so they are not completely copper jackets. Maybe Bi-metal? I think that term was used for some ammo

Bought these many years ago in a lot on the auction side. Would not have considered it to be collectable but I thought I would ask since much of the once cheap import stuff is now bringing $$
TRAP55,
Thanks for the info. I remember vaguely about Wolff ammo issue years ago, but didn't pay much attention since I don't shoot steel cased ammo.
