I think his friend was spot on except maybe lubing pistol cases cus of carbide dies . Let me tell you why I think this .
I once was watching my buddy years ago teach his son how to do the family business . What he was teaching was every trick and corner to cut to adequately get the job done . I'm normally the kind of guy that stays out of others parenting but this was my best friend from middle school I I care about his son . So later that day I pulled my buddy aside and quite aggressively gave my opinion on how he should teach his son to do a job . That was to teach them the correct way to get the job done perfectly with out exception . Then explaining that gives him the foundation to get the job done correctly and he later with experience can choose some short cuts we all need to do from time to time to get the job done on time while still having the final results be expectable . I told him by teaching him all the shot cuts infers that's the best way to do it and when his son needs to cut corners later what corners will he cut and still end up with an expectable result .
Although not exactly the same here I feel some are suggesting he not worry about things he should . I know as a new reloader I needed my cases to be clean to inspect them . I think he should trim his cases at first to help understand why it's important and see how much they vary and grow after sizing .
I just think he should learn the best way then later remove or add steps as needed . He should get a manual like Lymans 50th and read it from start to load data . That will help his foundation , once he has that baked in maybe we give helpful pointers then of what may not be needed because he will have some foundational knowledge to work with and compare are answers to .
Edit, I was just reading this post and noticed that Siri got a lot of stuff wrong oh well I don’t feel like going back and fixing it all right now maybe I’ll do it later
