Earlier this month, Russian RIA Novosti news agency reported that the amendment to the Russian Firearms Law allowing Russian citizens to reload rifle ammunition was approved by State Duma, the lower house of Federal Assembly which is the Russian national legislature. About a week later, on July 13, the upper house, Federation Council, approved this amendment, too. And finally, on July 19, President of Russia Vladimir Putin signed that bill making this long-awaited legislative change a reality.



Before this bill was passed, Russian citizens who were eligible to own firearms could only reload shotgun ammunition. If they needed rifle cartridges, they could only purchase loaded ammunition and couldn’t even reload the spent cases. Now they can reload the cartridges for their rifles. Those Russian citizens who acquire rifled firearms first time will now have to take a class to learn the safety rules and basics of reloading.
