I think the reason why you don't have to, is carbide is both very hard, and ground smooth.

When I tumble with walnut, I add Nufinish car polish to the walnut media. Gives a nice sparkle and leaves a film of the polymer wax behind to both prevent tarnish and lube the dies. I can tell the difference if it wasnt used. Its not enough to skip lubing bottleneck cases though.

No, it's not. Interesting idea with the nufinish though.

A way around the issue of lubing with progressive presses for rifle cases, is to use a lube die, or perhaps Lee's collet die

Are the Session lagers from Full Sail available out there? They're surprisingly good for the price, and come in various styles, including Session Black.

hey what about no alcohol at the reloading bench?

Don't remember seeing it, but I don't shop for beers often or aggressively.

Side note, the term 'sessionable' makes me want to choke the life out of something. But slowly, to make it sessionable.
