Yeah, all you need is a scale, powder, shell casing and the bullet, and it's like building a Lego set.

It's a little more complicated than that, mostly because you don't have to worry about building a Lego set incorrectly and having it explosively deconstruct itself in your hands. :) But broadly, yeah, unless you get really deep into the weeks, like wildcat cartridges, or swaging your own bullets, it's pretty much assembling the 'right' components.
