Take a fired case and run it up into the sizing die. Then see if you can insert a thin feeler gauge between the die and shell holder. If you can, this is a starting point. Tighten the die and repeat to the point where you can't even see light between the surfaces.
Just able to get back to my press and tried this, voilĂ ! I was able to insert an index card between the shellholder and die and tightened down accordingly. Made a dummy with 124gr gold dots and setback after 5 chamberings was a whopping .0025 inches, I can live with that. Only turned the crimp die adjuster in a half turn as well. Thank you all for your help in assisting me to create the best possible rounds for my carry gun that I can 110% trust mine and others lives to.
