I avoid sizing any cast bullets, PC'd or not, unless I've they won't chamber otherwise.

I did this same thing for a long time but then I started casting for Mosin Nagants and other various size 30ish calibers.
Then I tried powder coating and haven't touched lube since.
Now I have final diameters in mind and do whatever it takes to get there.
My Finnish Mosin Nagants are .3105 to about .3115 and my mould drops around .313" So when I used lube I just shot them as cast. But now with PC they are kinda too big and I only have a .311" size die.
So now I size the bullets to .311" then powder coat them and load them unsized after PC. They are at least as accurate as they were before but now no lube mess.
I powder coat and size all of my 9mms and .38/.357s to .358" This is proving to work great in everything.
Typical semiautomatic 9mms have very generously sized chambers.
