Going to try some in my Tikka 308 to see how they go in that, using the Fed 130gn at the moment, they are ok but nothing special in the accuracy department but kill well.

Everyone that I've heard speak about adi or osa has nothing bad to say. I don't have a .308, but I do have a .223 and have both adi and osa. It's good quality ammo.

Brass is good, don't use Matchking for hunting, its BAD, the 223 has blitzking projectiles which is OK for hunting, I realoaded crap-tonnes (metric) with super-roo load from sierra with 0 dramas. As for reloading 308 I'm using some Vmax for fun but will probably try some other stuff from reloader haven, he's local, small time and seems like a decent fella.

In line with any other quality factory hunting ammo.

Give it a go.

Have used the 135gn HP's and they shoot identical to the 130gn Fed-Tac/TRU through my sako 308 in both velocity and groups size. In fact I haven't seen a 308 that doesn't shoot them exceptionally well as they group great in my mates R700, Howa 1500 and a Tikka CTR.

The 168gn SMK loads are a bit more picky, they group well in the 1:12 Tikka Tactical, but not so well (still averaging .5 -.75in) in my 1:10 R700. They're still pretty good performers as far as constancy from a Factory ammo, hitting steel out to 900m.

The 55gn Blitzking 223 loads are another great factory load, I haven't bothered reloading they shoot that well out of my 223. The 69gn SMK load not so much.
