Pull the bullet and fire off the primer and your all set...It's all I ever use..Insert the case and close the bolt.Screw in the barrel until it touchs the case..Open the bolt back the bolt out just a little.Try closing the bolt with the case in the chamber.If it closes hard back out the barrel just a tad until the bolt closes easy..Lock up the nut and your done..I know some will argue about my method,but it works for me with never any issues..
My process is close to the above. I use a fired case, Insert the fired case in the chamber, I adjust the barrel until the bolt won't close, I back off untill it does. I tighten the barrel nut, I make sure the bolt cycle's good with the fired case. Then I take a piece of scotch tape and put it on the end of the fired brass. I trim the excess off, it's easy with a pair of sissors. I insert the fired case with the tape on it and see if the bolt will close. Most of the time I won't make it to the 2pm position. I try several times, but it wont go. I pull the brass out, remove the tape, reinsert the brass, and cycle. If the bolt closes, "I am ready to go". I have done this on many rifles and I know pro gunsmiths who do the same.
