[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3004268, member: 10755"] None of my dies size to the neck/shoulder juncture and; in every instance of shoulder dents I have seen is from lube on the case body migrating to the shoulder… You see, this is where falsehoods/myths regarding WHAT is required are generated. Every reloading die suggests NOT to lube necks, however, MOST bushing dies suggest lube… I use many coated tools, these tools, including bushings and dies, require no lube because the coating IS the lubricant. As I previously stated, I used to dip case necks into graphite powder, but is NOT necessary in any way and just makes a mess…I still use powdered graphite INSIDE necks, even on my mandrel’s, because wax and the like accumulate and is also messy. I actually stumbled onto the best lube I have ever used by accident, it is 100% pure bees wax melted and strained, never even come close to sticking a case with it, and this includes serious sizing from one case shape to another. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
