I have some experience loading different pistol calibers on a progressive press . I use Dillon 550B. I never had to really lube the cases as all my dies are carbide. Now I need to start loading 50AE for my Desert Eagle. So I got a set of standard Lee steel dies (believe it or not, carbide dies for 50AE run close to $450 and are a special order item):

Is it necessary to wipe out the lube after the sizing / depriming die? If yes, in case of a progressive press it might be a little inconvenient?
Also, what lube would you recommend for lubing these big cases? Is Dillon spray case lube OK? Is RCBS case lube-2 better? How heavily do you lube the cases?
Is it important to remove the lube from the cases in the reloading process or from the finished cartridges after reloading?
