Lube .38 cases for Classic Lee Loader?

Over the decades, I have used the Classic Lee Loaders in .38 Spl/.357 Mag, .45 ACP/.45 AutoRim, .32 S&W Long, 6.5 Carcano, .303 Brit, and .30-30 Win.

I wipe the cases with a sock, paper towel, shoeshine rag while inspecting them to make sure they are clean and not damaged.
I use a pistol cleaning rod with a cotton patch with a few drops of oil to clean and lightly lube the sizing die before starting a session sizing a batch of 20, 25, 50 cases. The "mallets for all, quiet for none" Classic Lee Loader is not for for mass production.
