I'm about to buy a .300 Win Mag and I'm also just getting into reloading. Is there going to be a difference in reloading the .308 compared to the .300 Win Mag?

Same process, different dies, powder and most likely primers.
Make sure you get a good reloading manual( an actual paper and ink book) and read it before you start doing anything if you are really new to reloading.

Don't forget about that belt thingy. Precision shooting reloading guide required reading

Yes I'm really new. I already ordered the Lyman's book, it's on the way. I had heard there was something different possibly with the .300 Win Mag. I wan't to make sure that it's nothing to difficult before I buy the rifle.

Re: Newb question
Reloading should be the same.
Same precautionary measures required just different components.
You would use magnum primers, possibly a different powder as well. The projectiles are the same however with a .300winmag i would be inclined to go with heavier projectiles than a .308win.
Just remember safety is your biggest concern. Being safe preserves you and those shooting around you and also reduces the likelyhood of you damaging your equipment.
