Sizing may or may not be necessary, I'd certainly give it a try. I haven't been able to get the results I want without sizing but that doesn't stop me from trying. Depending on the purpose I use either a lubesizer or the Lee system. For volume handgun production and certain Tumble Lube rifle bullets I prefer the Lee sizer (fits a standard press) and Lee Liquid Alox. For BP applications I prefer the Lyman 4500, a dedicated sizing tool. It can be used for other applications as well but I only use it to apply SPG lube to my 45 Colt, 45-90 and some 45-70 bullets.
Hornady One Shot case lube is my personal favorite case lube but I doubt it will work as a bullet lube. There are lots better lubes out there, I personally prefer SPG and LLA.
