Loosen the lock not, screw in the die by 1/16 of a turn, snug up the lock ring, lube and resize a piece of brass, clean and see if it chambers with slight force = crush fit.
If it doesn't, turn in another 1/16 of a turn, try again.
If a case chambers too easily there is more free space and on firing it expands further to hit the shoulder of the chamber and potentially shortens the life of the brass by being sized too much, then expanding, then being sized again.
The brass flows from the web and can lead to case separation.
Had this problem with my Tikka, tight chamber so just turned the die in a fraction at a time until the bolt closed with little resistance.
