Brass brand is not so important so long as it's all the same.

Get yourself a Lee case length gauge and cutter for 308 so you can trim your brass to length

See if you can find someone local to show you the basics too.

you prefer the winchester powder over ADI, Hornady, Etc? Hmm never thought down that road, I may give it a try! What type of groupings and speeds were you getting with that set up?

Mv = 2680fps

Accuracy = minute of deer all the way out past 300 m

End result = bang , flop.
