That is the question. Do you lube your pistol brass? I have been complaining about how "rough" my Hornady L-N-L is to operate. Well, this past weekend I decided to give the 45 acp brass a shot of lube. Well, roll me in pigs blood and send me to a mosque, my "rough" press was glass smooth. Do any of you do this? The other thing I noticed is that without lube I have a lot of brass flecks all over my press. Once I started lubing, the flecking went away. Anyone else do this?
