Case necks and bullet seating: lubed or dry?
#5
I don't lube the inside neck in this calibre.

The sizing die's expander ball is removed so I figure there is no need to lube the inside neck, and I want as much friction as possible to hold the bullet in place for a gas gun (no crimping). The outside necks gets a twirl of Imperial Wax however. I use a roll pad with RCBS lube for the bodies, and clean up is all the finished cases getting rubbed in an old towel at the same time - to save time.

I don't use spray lube on rifle calibres because I figure the lube gets inside the cases and will not be even around the inside necks. I use One Shot for handgun however; it's quick and easy.
