I like to use the V6.0 spring calculator it's more detailed. But people find it sometimes is 50lbs out depending on design.
First up is the shock bottoming out or is your seat just too low?
Second assess your way if your sag is 30-35% your spring rate should be fine
It is normal for a shock to bottom out once or twice on a run just not excessively hard.
How are your HSC and LSC settings?
If you have set your rebound HSC and LSC up and you are bottoming out once or twice it sounds fine. You can always ramp your BOC up a little more I'd need be, but son touch BoC until HSC and LSC I'd set.
If your spring rate is too low it doesn't just affect the end you tend to be running way too far into the travel and the bike doesn't have proper support for rebound, generally the bike will be very deep in travel and won't have any support under it. It will also use too much travel for what a hit require throughout the whole spring not just end.
When I get on the computer I'll give a run down of setting up the rc4 if you like.
Get your sag to 30-35%
Set your rebound up ie no packing and no kicking, you want the bike to settle into corners too.
Set your LSC up, this clearly is used for LSC hits, remember LSC is shaft speed not bike speed, so wallowing holes or transitional landings tend to be LSC as does pedal bob, LSC can very minor affect initial traction but it more noticeable in corners due to the slow shaft settling so It is good to do some testing during cornering here as well. I wound mine up till I lost traction than went down a click.
HSC should be set for the initial feeling, ie harsh or soft. If you are blowing through your travel up the HSC, if the ride is getting harsh initially, ie when you fist hit a square edge if it feels excessively harsh dial it back. HSC should be used to control more initial compliance and the pressure should be used more for support.
To increase the support of the shock add some pressure, although the over all pressure does affect overall feel it is mainly used to adjust the mid stroke support of the bike.
Ideally your suspension should now use its travel appropriately with no kick or packing.
Then after all this you should find the bike is using all its travel perfectly and maybe a few sections with big drops produce bottom out, then up your bottom out till the harshness is gone. Its fine to bottom out once or twice but not so hard it will be damaging.
