    OP, I have read the thread through, and am guessing at this point, that your head will be spinning a bit.

    When I started, I was intimidated by how much I didn't know, and afraid of making a dangerous mistake. There was nobody to teach me, so I was learning solo.

    So I did two things.I spent a long time reading and thinking about each step.

    And I made a few dummy rounds.

    A dummy round is a cartridge with everything done to it, except having a primer and powder.

    If it's the right length, fits in your magazine, feeds into the breech, extracts and ejects sweetly, then it means that what you have done to that point is working ok.

    The next round you make, assuming you prime and charge it with powder correctly, will be good to go.
