Lube question

I just ordered my first handgun molds. I'm reading a lot of manuals and articles, but still have a question. Both of the molds I ordered are from Lee. One is a 125 gr. 9mm (356) round nose with a single lube groove. The other is a 38 (358) tumble lube SWC. I know I can us Alox on the 38, but can I use it on the 9mm? Do I have to use a different lube and put it on with a sizer/lube die? I was planning to go with the Lee sizer kits (mostly for cost and convenience), but why spend the money if this won't work.
 
Yes, Alox tumble lube will work on a standard lube groove bullet. You may not even have to size the bullets as Lee's molds often drop bullets the size you need them to be. A pair of dial calipers is really needed to measure the diameter. Tumble lube and go. Have fun and be careful.

Thanks, Vance. Calipers I've got. And the name of the reloading game is careful, with everything. Now, if my local garage will sell their used wheel weights at a reasonable price;)
