Using a single stage press gives you a "quality over quantity" approach since you're doing each stage of reloading one at a time. I'm not a high volume reloader anyways. With that said, here's what I recommend:

    RCBS Kit with just about everything you need to get started for $280: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/937...tage-press-kit

    RCBS Powder Stand for $18.50: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/125...-measure-stand

    If you spend an additional $2.00+ on RCBS gear, you'll be qualified for a $75 rebate: http://media.midwayusa.com/cms/rebat...n1_dec31_c.pdf

    Now you just need to get a trimmer, tumbler, calipers, and what ever set of dies/shellholder you want. Having more than one reloading manual is good to cross reference data. If you decide to want those previously mentioned items made by RCBS, wait until January to purchase them because the rebate should reset for the new year.

    Then you'll want to start looking at brass, powder, bullets, and primers. Hopefully you've been saving your once fired 308 brass. Will you be reloading your 308 WIN for a semi-auto or bolt action?
    That's exactly what I did. I went the RCBS route. I talk to the wife Monday night and told her that if Hillary won, It will be really hard to find ammo and that I needed the ability to load my own. Her answer...." you are a big boy and work hard, get what ever you need" My eyes got as big as basketballs. Since I have the amazon card and I get a 5% discount on amazon purchases and the $75 off. I got this kit and the 308 dies and shell holder. I already have around 500 brass casings and have a round 300-350 rounds of 308. I rarely sell anything I buy, so the lifetime warranty and the Costumer service is what push me to RCBS. I look at dillon but those progressive presses scare me a little. Maybe when I'm experience. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V3IW74A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
