How much do you bell with Bayou Bullets?

For my Bayou 200gr SWC, I had always belled just enough to get the bullet started. Did this with Precision bullets as well. But thought a little more bell might help keep the coating intact more and maybe help to reduce leading more. But would the slight increase in belling reduce neck tension enough to cause the occassional bullet setback?

Nope, no coating shaved off lately with the Bayous. Last year I was shooting Precisions, and would shave some off occassionally, so I opened up the belling a little bit more. I've just wondered if I might be a little too generous with the belling for the Bayous. Havent had but a very, very few setbacks with Bayous, which I'm expecting was probably due to thinner walled brass and not the belling. I'm belling with the Powder Funnels PTX on my LNL.
