Me believes you have trouble with verb tenses. Did you not mean has fallen down instead of falling? My wallet went bye bye down the hole a long time ago.
Is this the correct steps of accurate reloading?

Only thing I'd add is verifying consistency. Sort your bullets base to ogive then measure the seating depth of each round. Also measure your shoulder bump for consistency.
And of course, neck tension. OP is at the edge of that hole.

One last question. When I turn on the 21 century lathe and use their expander, John from 21 century says to put some imperial wax on both Mandrals. Well the wax gets on the inside the neck. So what do I do? I wrapped a patch on a nylon brush and ran it on the inside the neck? Is that enough? Or do I have to tumblr? I prefer not to

Can you see it on target? Your first load after turning is fireforming anyway

No matter how much you scratch it's still going to itch.
Sounds good for starters but as a guide for technique there is a book, "Precision Shooting, Reloading Guide " Published by Precision Shooting, Inc. , likely available from Sinclair Int. that details steps to achieve Extreme Rifle Accuracy.

Read as much as you can. But do.
When you have the confidence that you understand the basic process, you may as well get started. In the end, you won’t learn until you start doing it. You won’t learn without making mistakes.
As you can see, there are a billion opinions about how to manage the fine details. Most of them are not wrong. But, they may not work for you. You will not know until you try them. If you run into a problem, ask. You will get a reliable responses on this board from people who know, and the occasional, sometime helpful, sometimes useless and utterly confusing, response from the keyboard theorists.
Be safe. Never use or have but one powder on the table at a time. I leave the bottle on the table so that I know what is in my thrower. Don’t trust your memory on this. Work up all loads. Buy quickloads.
If you are married, develop stealth, a way to smuggle in and a good place to hide, all of the loot you are about to acquire. Or should I say buy. Buy once cry once. If you must start off buying cheap, study up and buy used good cheap stuff. There is plenty of it available. The guys that get serious about this dump the cheap stuff and upgrade on a regular basis.
Generally you are not going to consistently produce zero runout single digit Es ammo starting out. When some of the best shooters in the sport tell you that you don’t have to to be competitive, believe them.
If you are OCD, find a different hobby.

Lol. This is hilarious. I can tell you how many times I sold a scope or something and guys have a po box set up so it does not get delivered to the house. Hiding spot from their wife. So funny. I may be getting married this year, so I’m buying everything now. This way it is “stuff I already owned”
