I always set up my dies for "minimal" FLR. You need to have fired stout loads - where the empty case won't re-chamber easily. Then start with the FLR die screwed out a bit, resize a case and see how easy it is to chamber. If it is still tight, resize a 'fresh' case with the die screwed in a little bit further. Repeat this until the bolt closes with a little bit of resistance on a resized case.

Stop when the neck sizing reaches the shoulder. The idea is to not push the shoulder back any. This method will actulay resize the body walls a little but that can't be helped unless you want to go with a true neck sizing die.

The case diameter will be reduced some amount and will be closer to your chamber size than full length sized brass. Examining a partial FLR case will typically show a step in the neck and sides, these steps will center the case within the chamber and the extended head to shoulder length will determine head space.
