Default Seating Die

Well, after months of reading and buying equipment, I loaded my first rounds this week. Excited about that and so far I've got about $200 per round invested...kinda hate to fire one.

How do you'll get the seating die set for the correct seating depth? Is it just trial and error or is there a procedure for getting it right? I loaded 270 and the manual stated the COL was 2.85. Isn't that the max lenght and, if so, how short can they be? As luck would have it, on my first try my cartridge came out with an overall length of 2.82.

Thanks for your help.
