NOE really has the best sizing die "system".  I have not seen any AG casters doing what I would call traditional sizing/lubing.  I powder coat and lube with http://www.finishlineusa.com/products/chain-lubricants/dry-lube (http://www.finishlineusa.com/products/chain-lubricants/dry-lube)

Like belly buttons everyone has an opinion on what is "best" lube.

Yep, NOE has the best system. I use 10 wt rc shock oil which is silicone. Many use it with great success.  8)

No!  But it is suppose to help reduce lead fouling, and in PB applications removes the need for lube.  I still lube becuase it helps with velocity in the AG.
