Thanks Yall!
Keep shortening till it passes the plunk test. You will have to be careful on the amount of PC as it will change where you will need to seat your bullets. If it is really thick then you will need to run them shorter. Away around this is to use the TC 120 gr mold. Once sized you do not need to worry about the thickness of the PC changing where the ogive is at
