I would think the RS5 would be fine for 308. I would also suggest looking at the Lee Classic Cast press. I had a new Rock Chucker Supreme side by side with the Classic Cast and decided to keep the Classic Cast. More features, bigger opening and less money. The Lee comes in kit/package form also. As mentioned above, I too have an older Reloader Special press from 1978 that still serves me well to this day, but is now a dedicated de-capping press for all calibers I load. I believe at least some of the new RCBS equipment is made overseas, Lee is still made in USA. That makes a difference to me. A lot of good presses out there, enjoy your search :-)
