do you have a good german master cylinder or a cheap unit? I had lots of trouble with a new cheap master cylinder, trying to bleed it. I exchanged it for another cheap unit and had the same trouble. Then I bought a good German cylinder....no more problems.

I usually adjust my brake shoes until I get about 1/2 a turn when I try to spin the wheel.
