1) Buy a set of carbide 30 carbine dies for neck sizing.
2) With once fired brass, full length size, trim to minimum trim length, & load.
3) Neck size after that 'till the brass reaches it's max case length.
If loaded moderately, you'll get many loads before full length sizing is needed again.
The plus side of 308 W. is; avalibility of afordable components (you can shoot the 308 W. till the brass needs FL size the 2nd time, throw away & buy new cheaper than buying one of the less common calibers mentioned. 308 W. will have good rifle ballistics for longer range shots.
As for a handgun to match, settle for a 30 carbine, you already will have dies for it  |
I have a M700 in .308 Win but I'm only now starting to reload for it. I'm just looking for something straight wall for something new. Most of my buddies keep telling me to get an H&R Handi in .44 magnum if I want to be cheap or search out Winnie or Marlin if I want to spend more. I would like something that stretches out more than that though. They do make a Handi in .500 but the .460 seems like it would be more ideal and be able to run .454 and .45 Colt even if free bore might get rough with accuracy.

my cheap CVA shots 150gr worth of pellets and a 300gr 44 cal sabot, so its probably the equivalent of a 444+p

You aren't the first one to mention BP but I just know nothing about them.
