Welcome to Eastern Bloc Arms!

There are so many things I want to convey to our customers in this first blog. My head is spinning trying to think what the typical shooter wants to know about the company and the people they trust to supply their ammo.

Let’s start with the basics – who’s materials are we using - at least right now: For our new 223 Remington the cases are made by the fine people at Nosler. This is top of the line cases with excellent part to part consistency and minimal weight variation. The bullets are made by Lightening just down the road from our Missouri based operations. The propellant is manufactured by Accurate.  Our powder of choice is designed specifically for small rifle cartridges.  Our primers are sourced from Ruag, a globally recognized ammunition component manufacturer. Ruag has a few brands under their umbrella you may be familiar with, including NOMRA®, GECO ®, Hirtenberger® and RWS ®.

Next Basic – How are we loading? Priming is done on our multiple V&O presses. These are Arsenal style pieces of equipment, They are built for stout with a few tons of force, if needed, to pierce the flashhole or crimp the primer. We load on a Plate Loader System. This is classic Arsenal style equipment as well. Each plate has 247 cartridges in it and we load 247 rounds at a shot.
