I am considering picking up a set of Lees Deluxe 3 die set for 243. It includes a FL die, a Neck sizing die and the seating die.

My understanding is that these are carbide dies and you do not need to lube the cases. I have read that some people still lube the cases for the FL die but not with the Neck die. I wanted to check what people on this board thought. Should I use lube with these dies, not at all or just with the FL die?

Also, since all of the brass I have is once fired that's been fired in my rifle I can get away with just using the neck sizer dies, correct?


Thanks
