By the late 1930s, the Novopodolskiy plant had mastered the full production cycle of the cartridges most needed in the army: rifle (7.62×54mmR) and pistol (7.62×25mm) ammunition.

Among those listed were the munitions used for feeding renowned Mosin–Nagant rifles, TT pistols, Nagant revolvers and DShK heavy machine-guns, among others.

They are still widely used today, both for old military designs and new professional and amateur hunting rifles, which is reflected in factory's production.

In 2000, the cartridges with nickel-plated casing were presented at the international weapon exhibition IWA & OutdoorClassics in Nuremberg, Germany, followed by an export contract.

A closed-type joint stock company (ZAO), Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant, was founded in 2001 on the base of OAO KSP.
