Lube needed with Redding profile crimp 44 mag die?

[p5200]

I purchased a Redding pro series set of dies for .44 mag and the directions for the profile crimp die suggests using a little lube with it for smoother operation. Does anyone else, that uses these die sets use lube with their profile crimp die? Thanks!

I have Redding profile dies in several revolver calibers, never used a lube.

I have one or two of the profile crimp dies. I do not use lubricant, but I never read the instructions either.

Having been thoroughly educated on the subject, I still will not use lubricant.

If I was going to use lube it would be the Imperial Wax.

I normally use it after I clean dies to protect them from corrosion.

I don't lube with the Redding Profile Crimp Die or any other crimp die, although I am sure it would be smoother.
