What does case lube have to do with squib rounds? I followed your logic up until you made that comment.
Without case lube, a lot more stress is put on part #13409. A friend of mine was without his machine while Dillon repaired it free of charge. But at $7.95 per can, what is the issue man?
where did you get the information about stressing out that part? this is a pretty big piece of cast aluminum and sure over 1 million rounds it will never break! also it works on a push/pull system. i mean i have crushed a 9mm piece of brass barely pulling down on my 650 handle with minimal force. i.e. 9mm brass wasnt seated in the shellplate correctly. it dont matter if it is lubed or not with carbide dies just lubing is a hellofalot easier
