All you want is enough shims so the bolt will reset if it pinches a ball.If you add too many, then it will just leak down the barrel. To test, put your finger in front of the bolt (or a stick or something if you don't trust it with your finger). If the bolt doesnt reset with your finger right up against it, then add another shim.

I run all of my guns with no shims and have no issues. I've seen people get their guns working with 3-4 shims and then they develop a leak. After removing the shims, it goes away. I wouldn't bother with them unless your gun actually NEEDS them.
