I have tried different powders, but usually only use Varget now. I have the dies for .45ACP, .40S&W and 9mm, but have only done one or two batches of those (2-3 hundred at a time).
I find the savings in reloading the .308 more than covered the reloading set up expense. I do notice that my reloads seem to be very consistent, especially at longer ranges. But I only get to shoot at 500 yds plus twice a year. So I would say that I barely notice the improved accuracy from my reloads, but that is the fault of the shooter.
The cost of the brass rounds kept me away from.556 and 308. I had some tullamo steel case in 308 that wasn't too bad. But I want to make the switch to brass. I originally was looking at a .270 rifle but I heard the 308 is easier and cheaper to load
