If they are still available, the Lyman or RCBS paste type lubes are about the smoothest but require clean up with mineral spirits. I don't see how that is a big deal...what's the rush?

Lee case lube in the tube is very inexpensive and works just as well and is water soluble. It works better than I expected at first due to the low cost when they gave me a free tube.

Any of the case lubes on the market work well if you apply it correctly.

I would take the time to do this step properly considering the difficulties one encounters if a case gets stuck in the die. You might consider to start by applying it with your fingers to insure you are getting good coverage and doing it properly.

It helps to lube the inside of the neck with something convenient, but don't put any lube on the actual shoulder.

I have never had a stuck case in 50+ years of reloading/case forming.
