I'm also using the Lee casting equipment these days, though I've used the Lyman amd RCBS molds in the past. I use a Lyman 4500 with a heater for sizing, and use a hard carnuba wax based lubricant. I'm loading on a Dillon 550, and I don't want sticky, messy bullets to deal with. I've never used the alox lubes for this reason. Many folks seem to swear by alox, but I wonder why none of the commercial casters use it since it would simplify lubing. When I got back into casting after a long vacation, I considered the Lee sizer and using alox for lube. I didn't own a single stage press, so the option was less appealing than it might have been had I had a ss press. In the end, I just like the hard lubes similar to those used by the commercial casters. I don't have to clean lube off the cases, and my seating die doesn't build up junk. In short, I think a traditional sizer/lubricator is a worthwhile investment.
