| I tried the mica and it worked. The Redding/Imperial graphite works a little slicker. I wonder what it does to the bullet 'grip' in the neck since I don't bother to clean it out after sizing. |

| No lube, when only neck sizing. Just run the case over a nylon brush to scub out the worst grit. |

| For necks, powdered graphite is my go-to lube. Case bodies get Imperial Sizing Die Wax.

| I have carbide bushings for my 22, 6mm, 6.5, and 30 cal. I do not lube them.

| My favorite way of lubing necks is when I am using a spray lube I put the cases in a plastic tub, like a 1/2 gallon ice cream tub, and spray the lube on the cases and then agitate them. Then I hold the tub at a 45 degree angle and shake it and all the cases will line up with the mouths up, then give the mouths a pass and a half. Takes only a few seconds to do it this way and saves a lot of time. If I am resizing on a single stage press I'll often use Imperial and then I just have a Qtip that I've rolled in the wax lightly and give the case a pass with that.
for every hour in front of the computer you should have 3 hours outside

| I have never lubed the necks of a case for neck sizing only. There is just no need.
