    ADI 223 brass cases

    Seems quite a bit cheaper than say lapua or norma.

    Those that have used it, how have you found it???

    From what I've researched, and from ADI's reloading book (2016), this brass is mil spec for ADF supply.
    Outback ammo (ADI's commercial range), seems to get reasonable results in 223, 308 and 50 cal.
    Cheers

    Most is okay, but then I've had a few with off centre flash holes, as in way off, that busted my depriming die.

    All good. Just make sure you get the new lot with the large flash hole. Only because if you get the old lot you should really develop your load again. When you end up buying more. In saying that there may not be any more old stuff around. The new stuff has a sticker on the packet saying something like . .. now with new larger flash hole.

    I have used the 5.56 brass since the mid 90's
    Heaps of off center flash holes as well but other than that it works a treat in my rifle.

    It's the main 223 brass I use, both bought new and once fired stuff.
    Not sure how it stacks up to other stuff but as have had no issues getting a good load for each .223 I have from it I have never felt the need to replace it.

    I use this brass for my 223 and find it great. Well priced and performing well so far. But I have noticed that you don't get much powder in as others

    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
