How important is it to lube up your cases before reloading them. I am getting ready to do some reloading for the first time tomorrow for a Black Badge course.
Good point on the Carbide,but I still put a bit of lee dry lube every 5-10 cases , if having used warm loads prior. Just something I do but not required as mentioned.

There are some who when loading using a Dillon 1050 or 650, will give the case feeder a light spritz, then tumble the loaded rounds briefly in corn cob media.
For sizing hot loaded or loose chambered .40's, I could see the use.
In my experience running a unlubed case through a non carbide die is difficult because you won't be able to run the whole caseup into the re-shaping die. I put a little bit on each case i run up. Just a thought...
The whole purpose for the existance of carbide dies is that you don't need to lube the cases. If you have to lube with carbide dies, the dies are ####ty quality.
I don't lube for carbide dies, but I lube for everything else. I have actually been to worried about over-lubricating (case dents) and once put a case through too dry. I had a real ##### of a time getting it out of the die without hurting the die at all.
I lube my bottleneck cases, AND all my 9mm ones. I find that for a tapered case like the 9mm, 9x21, 9x23, etc., a lubed case is SOOO much easier to run up in the dies that it is easily worth it. Try it I toss all my stuff in the tumbler after loading anyways, and then drop into an ammo-gauge, thyen put in ammo boxes and check for high primers. Careful and thorough? maybe so, but they all work
BTW, I use a spray lube and it's no trouble at all...
i use as my father uses valve assembly lube , put a thin line on the cases and put on a shammyand roll by hand back and forth, doesnt' need much but we have never had a problem. i think its called snake oil or something lke that.
