Eppie, did you experience any lube dents? As sticky and thick as Petroleum jelly is, it seems to me that it would be very easy to get too much on the case...a concern for me when I was loading long, straight cases like the .444 Marlin and 45-70.
Nowadays, I hardly use any case lube. Carbide dies for handgun, Lee Collet (neck)dies for rifle. For .30 Carbine (also Carbide), I use a spray-on (Hornady One-Shot), that turns to a powder and seems to fall off by itself after sizing.
