The correct way to FL resize:

Take the guts out of your bolt. Sinclair sells a tool to do this. Basically, you can then stick your bolt back in your rifle, and it'll just fall into battery - Nothing's getting cocked, etc...

That's how you feel what's going on.

Okay. Now that you've done that, lube up a few cases. Screw your die into your press, and then back it out about a half a turn. Size a case. Chamber it. Does it still go in hard? Tighten your size die down a little, and size the case again. When the bolt will close with just a little finger pressure, that's the perfect amount of sizing. Lock your die down, and size and test a fresh round. Is it good? Cool. That's your setting, and it just "bumps" the case a little, meaning that your brass will last significantly longer.
