When I got down to what I would call "very comfortable" action at the at the first fret, the measurement I got at the first fret when holding down at the 3rd fret was about .004"-.005" .
I used a feeler gauge, but .004" is about the thickness of a piece of 20lb bond paper. 24lb is about .005". So you can see if you can slide paper under the string and if it catches or not.
