With reloading you pay for convenience. Actually, you can load your 308 for around $15 with a Lee Loader but it takes a bit more time than I'm willing to put into it. The more you pay, the easier it gets. My advice is a kit from either RCBS or Lyman. Either go for around $279 at my last check and both have all you need to load pistol or rifle with the exception of dies, powder, primers and bullets.
