    Australian Outback vs ADI World Class ammo

    Back before Covid the Australian outback ammo used to be some of the best yet cheapest factory ammo of the market, the 69gr SMK 223 ammo was a little slow but accurate. Then it seemed like it disappeared from the market.

    I’ve been doing a bit of digging into bulk (but good) 223 and 308 ammo and it seems like the Ozzy Match was made by ADI and is now sold as ADI World class. They do some pretty nice looking loads; 69gr SMK 223, 168gr SMK/TMK 308, 300blk 125gr SMK (TMKs would be nice!).

    I see some websites are advertising the Ozzy Outback ammo again, most places showing out of stock though, so not sure if they are old listings or not. Then I also see Broncos are listing the ADI World class ammo in stock, only 223 55gr but they are listing it in bulk quantities.

    Does anyone know what’s going with this ammo.
    Is it just starting to come back into stock, or has it always been around? Is it just 223 that’s making it into the country, or is it just the other stuff out of stock?

    It’s thin on the ground in Australia too. Production directed to military orders, same reason for the lack of ADI propellant in the faster burning variety’s

    Is the Ozzy outback ammo still being sold, or is it all under the ADI branding now?

    Are you seeing stock of all the direct ammo types, or are some more available than others?

    Only seeing the ADI branding. There has been big shortages of most brands in 222 and 223 ammunition. 308 and 270 there hasn’t been heaps around either.
