Cup & Cone BB Adjustment

I just rebuilt my first cup & cone caged bearing BB. I snugged the adjuster cup down to were I couldn't feel any play in the spindle, but when I put the crank arm on and tugged on it, I could feel a very slight knock. However, when I tightened the cup further, the spindle seemed to drag too much. Is it better to slightly over-tighten the adjuster cup, then ride it until the grease has distributed itself, then readjust again?
