LOL, every time I see the word "dies" in a post I think of obituaries. I gotta get more up on the lingo....DOH

I prefer lubing like clovishound does, only I use hornady lube (not the spray, never had much luck with that)

I wet tumble my brass cartridges and while I'm doing that...I put some Armor All Ultra Shine Wash and Wax in the tumbling barrel. The carnauba wax really helps the cartridges when I run them in the sizing die. There's been a couple times that I think I forgot to add the Armor All Ultra Shine Wash and Wax to the tumbling barrel and when I was sizing them, they were rather hard to size. So, I used some Imperial sizing die wax. As for the rifle cartridges, I lube them using the Dillon Precision case lube.

Case lube is really not needed for carbide dies...but it makes the reloading experience allot easier. My wrist, elbow and shoulder really thanks me after I'm done with the reloading secession. Once I'm done....I wipe the Imperial sizing die wax off with a clean rage. These two added steps don't really bother me cause I know the reloading secession was rather smooth.

I kinda like the Lee lube a half a dab on a finger will do 4-5 or so cases. It wipes off the case really easy with a slightly damp rag or a minute or so in the tumbler. A tube last forever. I put a dab on the table next to the press and touch my finger to it once in a while and rub the cases.
