I have to say that on my larger cases .243 and up, I used Imperial case wax or Bonanza(Forster) case lube and wipe off with a shop rag.
Any of the small rifle or pistol cases(even though I have carbide dies), I do the zip lock bag trick. Makes sizing slick as snot on glass! I tumble after I finish sizing for a for minutes to remove most of the lube.
I have tried wire lube, the wax kind that they sell at Lowe's and Home depot, I cut it with alcohol about 1 to 8, it works good and cheap , but will build up in your sizing dies and cause problems if you don't clean your dies after using. The alcohol will cause rust too, so you need to oil the dies after you clean them. I just wash them out with a can of ether and reoil, the ether will cut the wax and oil and blow out any other crud in the dies. Wear glasses to protect your eyes, ether does not feel good in your eyes, ask me how I know.
