I use RCBS lube. I put a good sized dab on a cleaning patch. It then roll the patch on the pad of my thumb, and forefinger. I then use my fingers to lube the body of the cases. I use a bit of lube on a pipe cleaner to lube the insides of the necks. I do about 10 or 15 cases then pick up the lubed patch and roll it again. I started doing this after I stick 3 cases in 3 dies, in 2 days.
I have not stuck a case since. I have literaly sized tousands of them since. After sizing I usualy trim them, and then run the brass for a 3 minute cycle in the sonic cleaner, and then rinse them. I put them on a towell to dry. If it is warm and sunny outside I put them in the sun. If I am in a hurry and do not have the time to wait for them to dry I have a tumbler with fine walnut media. I run them for about 30 or 45 minutes, and they are ready for the rest of the operation.
