Not very hard to do.
Seater die = screw die in until brass touches die with the ram all the way up,then back die out 1/2 turn.
Sizer die = screw die in untill die touches shellholder with ram all the way up,tighten die 1/4 turn .
This will put you in the ballpark and you will need chamber case gauge to known when the sizer die is right on .

Yea there are a few on YouTube that's basically and here where I learned to reload.
Funny I had a brain fart being I haven't reloaded in a few years had to YouTube it my self and before they explained it just seeing the guy get his stuff ready reminded me.
What I do is..
Measure a already (usually factory bullet) into the press and let it go full press (all the way up).
Back out the due settings almost all the way and screw the die until it touches the bullet holder. Then lock it down.
Then I screw the seating head down until it couches the factory bullet. Then back it out 1/4 turn.
Then load and measure. And turn in until its about spot on.
I personally back it out 1/4 turn every billed being my RCBS Dies/Press always seem to load some (308) at 2.808 then the next is 2.793.. So again I back it out and work the bullet in till its where I want.
For the resizing die I just do the same with out a bullet and put the press up full press and screw it all the way down till it touches the case holder. Then put a spent case in and press and screw in the punch till it finally punches the primer and I scre it out about 1/8 turn more and lock it in.
