do you use lube?
Do you use lube when resizing .44 magnum brass?
I never bother to lube for .45 ACP and would very much like to
avoid lubing the .44 mag brass as well...

Re: do you use lube?
I have never used lube on any straight or tapered wall pistol brass when using carbide dies. I only lube rifle cases.

If you have carbide dies for your .44, you shouldn't have to.

Re: do you use lube?
I've never used lube on any pistol brass when using carbide dies. if you'd like to reduce the effort in sizing .44 mags I'd suggest getting a tin of Imperial sizing die wax and lubing every 5th or 6th round.....that stuff is slicker than greased owl shit!
There are three kinds of people in this world....them what's good at math and them what ain't.

Re: do you use lube?
The big bore pistol cartridges can wear you out after a hundred or so but I also hate the mess of lubes. I use Hornadys Oneshot. I place the case's in a ziplock bag and spray a few quick bursts of the Oneshot and then shake them around in the bag.
