Greydog is correct....you don't want a light load. I can't tell you how many times I have had to fire form a case twice because I under loaded it.

When I tried the neck up/down method, the necks ended up short after fire forming. I found it was better to just load the bullets long, pressed into the lands to get the case head back tight against the bolt face, and fire it.

Run it up, until you blow it up, then back it down a bit.
