I use a 2-die Lee set to load .223's. If everything was dry (which it's not) talcum powder makes a good dry neck lube. The problem with it is it mixes with any oily lube it can find and makes a muddy sludge in your die that eventually causes shoulder dents. You have to take the die apart and clean it.
So for a while I would just touch about every third case mouth to a lube pad and that would transfer enough to lube the expander button on the decapping pin.
Last batch of .223's I resized, I lubed with Dillon Spray Lube, and just enough lube migrated to the case mouths I didn't have any problem with the decapper pin sticking.
