    Problem with dented necks

    A lot of the 6.8 spc silver slate brass I bought has some severe dents on the neck. Even some of the Lapua brass I have for other calibers has the same problem.

    Lube the inside of case necks when resizing?

    I've got a friend who has been reloading for 15 years, and he does not. I have been, but it is a PITA because it adds time. What say you?
