I found that if I overtight the cone, I can find somewhat a good adjustment since the cone will become loose as I tighten the locknut (which makes the axle moves and therefore loosen the cone). But it is all random and when it comes to hubs, I don't like randomness
Try smoking after you finish repacking the hubs, makes it go quicker for me.
Tighten one side, adjust opposite cone until there is just a tiny bit of play and lock down nut, check for play, and tighten down both locknuts until there is no play. If you are really anal, check the second locknut against that cone. The end, should take about 2 minutes.
