Good question David.
Brownell's sells a special magazine lube, which I have somewhere around here, that smells more like starter fluid than it smells like oil. Sort of a dry-lube.
I'm not shy about lightly lubing the mag. follower, but again I do avoid excessive lube that would get into the chamber.
And regarding nickel cased rounds, please note the last time you saw 30-06 ammo. for sale in nickel plated steel cases.
