If you are using a standard die with an expander on the decapping rod, Yes, lube the inside of the case neck. Get a nylon bristle case neck or bore brush and put a small amount of case lube on the bristles. Brush in and out about 3 times turning the case as you do so. Do not "gob" it on. A very thin coating is all you need.Im hearing some of you say "lube inside the neck"......?
You might find out that you are pulling the neck and shoulder forward when pulling the case over the expander dry causing it not to chamber. Take a 9mm pistol case, knock the old primer out, flip it upside down over the case neck and take a measurement with your calipers before you size. Then, take a measurement after you size and you'll find out how much you are bumping the shoulder. With lubing the inside of the neck, you may find out you have the die adjusted too far down.
