I use a bit of Oneshot if my bullets have to go very far down in as cast size. It just makes it easier.

I've never had to lube powder coated bullets before sizing.
Why not just squirt a pile with the lanolin/alcohol? Just asking because I'm getting ready to start PC.
I do much the same as Mr. LaRouche. A couple of my 44 cal molds drop a bit over .434" and with PCing sometimes they can get tiresome pushing them down to .431"...
If you are sizing down a "lot" and the sizing gets "difficult" the there's no reason not to lube. None of the lubes I use for case sizing or bullet sizing will harm the baked on PC...
I've used Hornady One-Shot and PAM. I lay a double handful of PC'd bullets on a hand towel and spray. Five minutes later I pick up the edges of the towel and roll the bullets back and forth and size away.
PAM is cheaper.
Hornady one shot spray lube will work just fine
