I have carbide dies and I know that lube isn't required, but I read somewhere that someone said they lubed their handgun cases. So I tried it and don't see myself going back. Most of the friction is gone and the cases size like butter.
I put 100-200 cases into a large ziplock bag and spray with Hornady One Shot. I shake the bag up and repeat the procedure once more. Hornady One Shot doesn't need to be tumbled off and the whole extra process only adds about 2 minutes. You don't have to be super thorough either because any case that doesn't get lubed won't seize up your press like bottle neck rifle cases will.
