    I formed another 4 cases today and used this original kit to gauge my forming.

    Because I'm using thin rims nitro express brass I have adjusted the shoulder location to head space on that.
    This leaves the front of the rim 0.5mm off the breech face.
    But does make the case rim back face make light contact with the breech block
