STEELIUM BARRELS
Steelium represents the signature feature of all barrels crafted by Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta, a company founded in 1526 originally as a barrel maker, long before it became a full firearms manufacturer. With nearly 500 years of expertise, Beretta continues to apply its knowledge today, even with the integration of cutting-edge production technologies. Each Beretta Steelium barrel is made from the companys exclusive tri-alloy steel (Ni, Cr, Mo) and undergoes deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum distension. This precise process ensures optimal ballistics, minimizing recoil and muzzle rise while delivering consistently dense and uniform patterns with various types of ammunition, including lead, steel, and High-Performance steel.
