Dry Silicone spray
Will dry slicone spray contaminate powder? In my effort not to do any re-tumbling, just trying to find somethign that works and requires least effort. Tried sythetic motor oil today. It works fantastic. only has to be cleaned before loading is the only issue. Mink oil did not work that great.

Lee's sizing lube may be what you want? Not as smooth as the oil, but it works. It is water-based so you can rub it on or mix it with water and spray it one with a pump sprayer. It works wet or dry, but does eventually dry, so you don't have to worry about contamination.
I wouldn't trust the silicone spray not to leave you with a case stuck in the sizing die. A sizing lubricant has to have high film strength so the press fit into the sizing die doesn't push it aside and break through the lubricating layer. Most light lubes like that spray do not have that film strength property.
