Is this pretty good ammo for plinking? I am not up on the surplus stuff. :?

:D It is bound to pretty Good, I have about 600 rounds of it but I have yet to shoot any, this is the AFF Headstamped Stuff, However I have shot the MF Headstamped Ammo and it is Excellent! Both come from the same Factory. :mrgreen:

Got approx. 300-500 rounds of ADI (Australian Defense Industries) through my Loaded model and have had zero problems thus far. Still prefer Hirt or Port but that's just me.

I've shot the Aussie in my M1A standard and it does great. Headstamped AFF, can't remember year. Shoots right witn Port. in my M1A, if not better. The Aussie does not seem as hot.

Port. leaves my muzzle a little over 2800fps. Haven't checked the Aussie yet.

Good Shooting,

Joe A.

Just noticed today that ADI 92 headstamped brass is boxer primed. Didn't beleive it before when I heard that from another retailer who used that to jack his prices on it.
The strange thing is the ones I have came in a sealed wood case with 2 different headstamps. One boxer the other berdan.

Just came back from the range where I shot my Bush M1A loaded with Aussie ammo and shot a 1 hole group of 5 shots at 100 yards! (Off a rest, of course)
This stuff is great
I just ordered a bunch more from Midway.
Right now they have a pretty good deal going so I'd jump on it before its all gone

My rifle definitely prefers Aussie. I haven't used anything but Aussie for a while now because it does well in my SA Loaded.

I buy it by the case 'cuz I love the ammo and them wooden ammo crates it comes in. When I've got enough of the crates, I'm gonna make a table for my den. :D Looks like I need to get to the range more often.

All the Aussie I've used so far has been berdan primed but I sure wouldn't mind it if I found a case that was boxer primed. :mrgreen:

I've only used the blister pack stuff and have had zero problems or malfunctions with it. YMMV, but it's the best shooting milsurp I've found so far.

:
D I used the Blister Packed Stuff in a CMP Service Rifle Match, AFF 90,I used it All Across the Course just to try it. Offhand: 175-1X, Sitting:191-4X, 300yd Rapid Prone:192-4X, 300 Slow Fire:191-5X, Total:749-14X Outstanding for Surp Ammo! This Stuff Grouped a heck of a lot Better than Port.
