Nobody? I subscribed and was hoping for some wisdom by now.

I've never tried that particular one, but seat it out to just, or almost touch the rifling should work out.
And use a powder recommendation from a slightly lighter cast boolit's minimum-ish, and maybe go up a little bit from there.

I would do the whole seat a boolit really high in a fired case and chamber one really gently to seat it in. Then go a few thousanths less than that.

Then in cast, take the fps of the charge and bump it up against the RPM calculator... Adjust charge/powder appropriately.

No offense meant to the OP, but this s a good example of why one should find a load in one's manual before purchasing any components, or molds (bullet, primer, powder and OAL, etc.). Many fewer headaches and time lost that way...
