Reloading Hacks

This begs the question...
Anyone ever heard of 'Light Lube'?
You don't have to hose every case down like you are necking down a wildcat round!

I only crank out 4-5 thousand handgun rounds a year, handguns not being my deal... But light lube, something NOT thick & sticky, works great & keeps brass from sticking to my dies.

Everyone forgets how abrasive brass actually is, and how carbide is also an abrasive, sooner than later you ARE going to pick up brass in the dies...

A little lube goes a LONG way...

It kind-a makes me want to break in to a song:

And then a reloader somewhere should determine how much space there is between the die and case when sizing and wonder? Juts how thick the lube should and or could be. I use a no name lube on the 'tuffest' cases to size, from the beginning it was designed to lube and avoid ware while under high pressure and I knew it was not easy to sling off and it did not pour like water @ 100° (alt 0176).

There is nothing like smooth, I am the fan of 100% contact, other want cross hatching and then there is wiping; the case is embeddable. and then? if there is lube between the die and case does the case touch the die?

I want nothing between the case and chamber but air, I do not want a lot of air and the air I do have I want it to be clean air.
