Reloading and other meanderings (just my thoughts, no real question)

That fear is healthy because if you over charge, undercharge, seat too deep etc. you might kaboom something. At the same time paying attention to what you are doing and understanding why you need to do certain things will keep you safe.

Once I get into casting my own bullets .40SW will drop to 7 cents a round due to free lead I might score. 70.00 for a 1000 rounds is eye wateringly cheap!

Bullet casting is huge savings especially if you have a source for cheap lead. I do occasional electrical work for a local auto/tire shop and get free 5 gallon buckets of wheel weights so I stockpile as much as I can.
