357 Sig Brass Resizing ?

I am interested in reloading for 357 Sig and had a question as to resizing the the fired brass. Will these cases have to be lubed before resizing like rifle cases, because of the necked down case ?
If not will carbide dies be necessary? Any additional info would be appreciated.

    357 Sig will need to be lubed. I do not believe anyone makes a carbide sizer for 357 Sig.

    I size the neck with a 357 carbide die and then size the body with a 40 S&W carbide die. It saves lubing and then wiping off the lube. It works for me on brass that I will shoot in the same gun I fired it in.

    I have RCBS dies for my 357 SIG. They are steel dies and you have to lube them. People reload differently. I size my brass, not usually overly dirty, then tumble them and lastly load them.
