Powder got bumped out of the powder horn of my Dillion 550B before I started lubing my pistol cases. I use a carbide die, just like 99.999% of reloaders, and for whatever reason, getting that case started without lube was took enough of a shove that I had an uncontrollable upstroke.
I lube the cases with RCBS water soluble case lube and now sizing effort is almost effortless! I also shoot the cases with the lube left on them, improves function in my opinion. By breaking the friction between case and chamber I am improving extraction reliability. As long as I don't drop the cases in the dirt there is absolutely no problem what so ever.
