dovehunter, Whenever I am loading bottleneck cases I use case lube. I run all of the cases I load through a tunbler type case cleaner before I size them. Then the bottleneck cases get just a little "Imperial Sizing Die Wax" rubbed on them. It makes such a difference in sizing pressure you may think you are sizing an undersized case.
However, I will always use the manufacturers recommendations. They generally have a good reason. (I always run a case neck brush with sizing die wax rubbed on it through the neck before running a case in the sizing die). My methods may take more time, but I want my ammo to be as exacting as nesessary.
