I'm a novice reloader, shooting .308 at targets: I use Amax 155's over Varget, Lapua brass, CCI BR-2 primers. If Lapua is too pricey for you, use Winchester brass.
Not into hunting yet, so I can't help you there, except that you'll want a hunting bullet for that. Best advice is: get and read some good books, like the ABC's of Reloading, and read every post here in the Reloading forum!
And ask questions, of course... Maybe someone in your area can show you the ropes.

Bullets
A magnum has a higher impact velocity,so you have to step up to premium bullet.For hunting moose ,Nosler Partions 200grs ,they really thump. ,but Barnes TSX, Nosler Accubonds,Hornady Interbonds,which I use, or Swift A-Frames will all work great. For deer,a 165 load that shoots well. For target work/practice I started using simple Hornadys 165 BTSP,now I use 168 A-Maxs.They just shoot so well.

68.5 grains of IMR7828SSC over a 180 grain Speer Spitzer. That's more than enough for moose and too much for deer. Just my opinion.
