Do not adjust the extractor in your pistol unless it is failing to extract fired cases or is impeding the smooth feeding of rounds from the magazine. The cartridges are not head spacing on the extractor unless the brass is way too short or the chamber is way too long.

As others have pointed out, make sure you are full-length resizing the brass. The resizing die needs to contact the shell holder when the press ram is all the way up. Flare the case mouths just enough to accept the base of the bullet. Taper crimp after seating the bullet so that the case mouth is around 0.470" in outside diameter.
