Fire forming ?

I ended up trading for a 7x30 Waters rifle length in a Contender. I have run some cases thru a die but now have to fire form to finish. I have some Red Dot along with cream of wheat, Lee dippers and wax that I used to make some 7mmTCU cases about 4 years ago. I don't want to waste any bullets but can't recall how much Red Dot to use. I don't think it was very much but I don't know how much.
Can someone give me some guidance ?

You can skip the grits and the wax/soap bullets by simply adding the powder to the case, cover with TP and fire in the vertical position.
Best.
Thanks for the info guys, I used 7 gr and it looks good. I seem to be leaning toward weird calibers, 7mm TCU, 270 Ren and now 7x30 Waters.
Might be an age thing. Heading toward 60 and having lots of T/C barrels I'm finding 6mm, 25 caliber and some 7s are a bit easier on my shoulder. My current favorite in the Contender is a 25.35 WCF from MGM. Accurate as heck, pleasant and necking down the 30.30 cartridge makes it easy to reload for.
