[QUOTE="mntnflyr4fun, post: 2157956, member: 29147"] I use the imperial, dip it in the neck lube before resizing that way the neck sizing collet slides easier in and out giving a more uniform expansion of the neck to the proper diameter. You don't need it to lube bullets being inserted by the press, you need it to pull the sizing plug back out of the case after the neck has been undersized by the die body and the plug is trying to make sure the I.D. of the case mouth is correct. It is kind of a 2nd sizing operation that goes on...1. resize the case, 2. resize the ID of the neck on the way out....using std. rcbs, hornady etc. type dies that is. Without some lube, getting the sizing plug back out can be difficult at best. The imperial dry lube is as good as I have used in 35yrs of reloading. [/QUOTE]
