Drilling is a roughing operation. It sounds like to took reasonable steps to drill a good quality hole. The suggestions given here are all good. In this activity (machining), you'll spend a lifetime chasing precision - trying to improve. I used to think drilling a hole was easy (just ask me and I'd tell you all about it). Now nearly 40 years later it sometimes feels like I know less than I did back then. The more I learn, the more I discover that there is a lot more that I don't know.
Drill a hole seems like such a simple task. Maybe not so - there is a lot that can give you a less than perfect result. That you recognize, even after making a good effort, the resulting hole is not that great - I say congratulations. You are on the right track of learning to do better.
