There are plenty of different reloading websites out there. One I use a lot to get an idea of what others are using is reloadersnest.com. Also for supplies, natchezss.com isn't too bad!!!

Reloading manuals are helpful, but almost all the information in them can be had from the powder and bullet company's websites. Hodgdon powder has a great selection of load data for different calibers.

There are tons of Powders and Bullets out there and your rifle will have to decided which it likes best. Most folks on the .308 from what Ive seen start out with Varget since its just an all around powder but again try several after you read up on your manuals most will show which powder they found to be the best for there bullet.
www.ammoguide.com is a great place to read up on stuff.

I like BLC-2 for 168gr amaxs and RL15 for 175smk. I use both lee and RCBS dies. WIdener reloading has good deals on PRVI 175 fmj and 168 mhp i think it was $100 for 500 if i remember right.
