Here is what I do,
lets say your loading a 300 wm, take a fired case and punch a 8mm expander ball down it the neck, (lube well) then put your resizer in the press, leave it up 1/4" or so from the shellholder, start resizing your case, trying it in the rifle each time, when the bolt will close on the resized case with just a bit of resistance, screw the die in 1/32 turn and lock it down.
I've used this method on all cartridges and it works well, never had a bulged belted case.
