RCBS. They are very good for the money, and they back up their products well. Usually you can find some good RCBS kits this time of year on sale
I'm a new reloader myself but purchased a Forster Co-Ax based on the recommendations of many. I just mounted it tonight so I don't have any time with it but it seems to be a high quality press.

For a reloading manual, I use Nosler.
The Forster line of products is very high quality. My BIL swears by them. Pricey though.For press & Dies, RCBS is always a great choice and they are killing the competition as regards Customer Service. I use the Lee turret with one turret for each caliber. My original Lee press just failed after 25+ years of service.
Brass: I like BrassmanBrass.com . The owner is a straight up honest guy, he has a wide selection of brass, and his price is fair.
Bullets: If you are headed out Kansas City way you can slide by the Sierra factory outlet and pick up bullets by the pound. If you are a Nosler fan, bookmark ShootersProShop.com and visit frequently. I visit as many as 3 times a day.
Powder: For the 280 I was very surprised to see that IMR4350 gave excellent results. 7mm08 with 120 grain the RL15 DA frequently quotes is very potent. You have to be careful here because powder remains in short supply although it is getting better
Primers: Personally I favor Federal Gold Medal Match but they seem to be non-existent. https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com has a fair primer selection. Grafs.com on occasion.
