Entirely correct on all counts. (I might take a small exception to the bit about PC'ing bullets, but that's just me. I don't need to generate "factory performance" in HV cartridges with cast bullets, so traditional lubes suit me just fine. Besides that, I like the smell.)

Re: sizing to fit a fired case, a couple thoughts. I think what that advocates is a backdoor means of sizing to throat diameter, without undertaking a chamber cast to determine such. For those without the means/time/inclination to do a chamber cast this would get them really close (probably close enough). The only fly in the ointment is variations in brass thickness might give one a false indicator- but it's a good starting point nonetheless.
