Do you lube handgun brass with carbide dies?

I do I mix lanolin and 90% alcohol as my lube. I know one really does not have to with carbide dies. Early in I learned what 1 stuck case can do, and how it can be a set back or a total loss of die and time after the witness of that I lube no matter pistol/rifle carbide die or non carbide, I will say to each his/her/other own.

I appreciate all the replies and responses to the poll. It’s quite enlightening to see so many people that do lube handgun brass.

I lube about every 20 cases with carbide dies. I have a container of imperial sizing wax and touch a finger to it and roll a case between my fingers and then wiping the edge of the case in a way that leaves a very small small amount of wax on the inside of the case opening. Makes the press run so smooth and everything seems work better when there isn't as much force needed to work the loading arm. This is on a Dillon 550 with Dillon carbide dies.

I lube every 10 or more brass. As soon as the handle gets a bit stiff I hit the next case with a little lube.
I have had the same tub of Hornady Unique for about 15 years. A little goes a long way.

I had one that came in a 007 single stage press kit I bought back in the early 80s.
There was still a little left in it when the plastic tub just fell apart 5-6 years ago.
