What to lube?
When sizing rifle cases, what needs to be lubed. I thought that you needed to lube the case up to but not the shoulder. I heard from a guy that the shoulder is the only part that needs lubed??? I little confused here. Thanks for the help.

No,the shoulder should NOT be lubed,it will cause it to cave when resizing,I mean if you get a little on it,it wont hurt.But there short answer is NO!

lube the case body, and the neck inside and out. I use Lee 'toothpaste' on cotton swab and ball. it washes off very easily.

I use the Lee lube simply because it won't degrade a primer even if I somehow get some near the pocket. No lube on the shoulder--NONE.
Then I use that fine mica powder for the case mouth.
