Another RCBS bushing die question

I'm trying to set my full length sizing die for the first time. I've never used bushing dies before. There is a YouTube video by Primal Rights on setting up a sizing die. He doesnt use bushings in his video. So I assume that's not the correct way for setting bushing dies. Any advice would be helpful!
 
The bushing die really just separates resizing into two parts: the case body and the neck. The case body part is no different from setting up any other resizing die. Changing the bushings if you don't like the neck diameter you get is the only difference. If you're going for complete full length resizing, the die mouth will need to contact the deck of the shell holder and the die has to be turned in far enough that the crack of light between the die body and the shell holder deck is gone, same as a standard die.
 
Im probably over thinking this but is it still possible to set a bushing die to low and size the case to much? I know you can set a standard die to low and crunches the case down to low. I was playing around with a case tonight trying to set the die. Tried different adjustments. Just dont want to mess up and have a gun malfunction. Just looking for another opinion
