Other things you can do is to measure and record your fire formed brass. I guess you have a comparator? If not you will definitely need one. Measure a few loads for an average shoulder to give you a bump measurement. Measure a few necks to give you a starting point on neck tension. If you have a trimmer you can set that up but you’ll want to trim after sizing.
You will be able to find a case that still give some tension and you’ll be able to check your (max over all length) there are vids to show different techniques for this.
You can do quite a bit of prep before loading.
