hi Matt,
well it really depends on what you're going to use the loads for. hunting? or everything else? e.g. paper punching, self defense, fighting WW3 or a government takeover, and so on.
first thing i'd suggest is once you find a load your rifle likes then buy as much powder and primers as you can afford. it might be hard to come by someday and you could always use it to trade should you need to.
for primers I use Winchester large rifle.
on powder I suggest you try two or three at first and see what your rifle likes. Varget, IMR 4895, Reloader 15, IMR 3031 and H380 all do well in the 308. I myself use Varget.
for hunting bullets i'd go with something like a Nosler Ballistic tip or partition.
for general plinking any cheap sp or fmj would probably be just fine. for accurate work the Sierra Matchking or Berger VLD are good choices.
I myself and fixing to delve into powder coated cast bullets for my 308's. cheap to shoot and depending on the load, very accurate.
