Not what your looking for. To learn reloading you can try ammosmith.com I watched his videos and learned from there. Also did a lot of reading. Just be sure of what you are doing at each step.
Have fun with it.

set your bullet seater deeper.
Seriously, this is where you want to start reloading? You bought a kit and your first question is this? This is not a newbie question. You need to learn about this craft. Order some books, or if you are unable to take what is in a book and do it with your hands, then I guess you should watch some videos.
I, myself, have never done that, but I am sure that you can. There wasn't actually an internet when I started this and not many videos either.
I would tell you to seek out a mentor.

What he said.
From my point of view, you never can be really sure of anything on the net - whether it's put out by an experienced expert or an enthusiastic idiot. On the other hand, the major reloading companies publish stuff that they will stand by. I would strongly suggest that you buy a reloading manual published by Speer, Hornady, etc. Once you have some experience under your belt, you will be in a better place to judge the value of stuff on the web.
And the idea of a mentor is a good one.

Yes it will be a problem as you need to make sure your overall length isn't going to cause issues. Get one at Home hardware or Canadian tire. I personally like the mechanical ones. It's a ##### when your battery runs out on a digital. Make sure it reads to the thousandth of an inch.
Either I'm reading you wrong, or you've never reloaded before and just bought your own press. If you haven't done any before, you're trying to start climbing the pole 3/4 of the way up. You have a bit of learning to do first. If you're not willing to read the "how to" section of at least one manual, this isn't likely to end well.
Buy at least one manual. ABC's of Reloading is a good one. Learn the basics...then you can start customizing your cartridges. Starting to pound out rounds without knowing what's safe and what's not is possibly going to cost you a gun or a lot more.

Ya I just got a master craft digital on sale for 29.99$ at Canadian tire and it goes to .001" which if my memory serves me right is one thousands of a inch, and ya i'm planning on reading when i get sent back out of town for work this week. But just trying to set everything up.
IMO those MC calipers could get a reloading newb into trouble. I lose zero every few measurements. I have two and they will sit unused until the time when/if my other calipers are broken. Glad I only paid 11.99 for mine.
