Using Lube when Neck-Sizing with Bushing Die

^ +2. This.

If you don't use ISW, I can guarantee that after about a thousand cases your bushing size will be bigger. If you don't want wear when 2 metal parts are sliding against one another lubrication is a necessity.

I use the titanium coated bushings and was somewhat concerned about diameters changing slightly, with extended usage. I went to using Imperial wax on necks about 5 years ago. Works great, but I do clean bushing and recess area occasionally, to remove any build up. I also use a Q-tip with Imperial dry lube inside the neck, when setting final ID with expander mandrel.
