Unknown Headstamp

I have several of these cartridges in a case and need help identifying them.  I didn't see them in the gallery or in any reference I have.  Here is a picture of the headstamp.  Thank You.

Brown Bear, Silver Bear, and Golden Bear are occasionally available here at local gun shops, but they are not readily available here.  However, Barnaul cartridges are readily available here at Academy under the Monarch brand.

I am posting this information in case you want to go buy some of the cartridges.

Thanks for the information.  I asked my brother about the lettering, he has an Archaeology/Anthropology degree and knows several different languages (Greek, Latin, and Russian).  He said the letters on the headstamp are translated as follows:
The first letter is a б, Russian b
The second letter п is pi, pronounced p (not pie)
The third letter з he said was a fancy z

бпз = bpz

I had checked the AFTE gallery with no luck because the headstamp was located in the symbols area.  The place I didn't check since I had the above translation.  I'll be more thorough next time, thanks again for the help - Jason.

Jason,

Thanks for the translation.  I wasn't aware that those were Cyrillic letters, because they looked like symbols to me.  The headstamp is now located in both the letters album (under B) and the symbols album.  That should make it easier to find.

Perhaps a "cyrillic" category is due in the headstamp gallery?  Or maybe combining all the non-latin alphabet entries into one group?  (cyrillic, arabic, chinese, etc)

Justine,

I created an Arabic album a while back.  I don't think it will be too much problem to go ahead with your suggestion for albums for Chinese and Cyrillic.

Thanks. :-0
