I'm using a RCBS roll pad to lube exterior, and lubing the inside of the necks individually, too time consuming.
Who's replaced the expander ball with carbide?
Could do a spray otherwise I guess....
Go.

I have used one for my 22 dies since they were available (all Redding) as I can use the same one in all of them (Hornet through Swift). Muddy

I use powdered mica on the necks, inside and out. There is a little kit from Frankford Arsenal that gives you a set of brushes, and a reservoir for dipping the cases. You pour a couple tablespoons of mica in the reservoir and dip the necks in and then run the brush through the inside. There is enough dry mica left to lubricate the expander going through, but not enough to matter otherwise.

When I lube the inside of case necks I do so one of two ways...
1. Pull the spindle out and give it a shot of Amzoil Synthetic Spray Lube....since each case neck has to pass thru the same spot, its easier to lube that...
2. put a bore brush on a pistol rod, and spray that with the Amzoil Spray Lube and run it thru each case neck... pretty simple, plus cleans any residual gunk in there out at the same time...
other lube works great I am sure, but I use the Amzoil, strictly because a friend is a dealer and I do some loading for him, and his 17 Fireball, so he just gives me a can or two when I need it...

What I've been doing, is pour a drop of RCBS lube on the brush that's used to clean inside the necks. it works, but again time consuming doing each individual neck.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I use a baby food jar filled with #8 shot and put a tablespoon of graphite in it. Shake it up. Dip case mouths in it and size.

One shot case lube.
Tried it after reading about it here, won't go back to imperial and graphite again.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I'm using a RCBS roll pad to lube exterior, and lubing the inside of the necks individually, too time consuming. After you roll them on the pad put the mouth of the case to the pad and proceed. I went through this many years ago and read about somebody doing this. Enough lube stays on the inside edge of the mouth to cure all your problems with a dry neck. I now mostly use Redding bushing dies but for a few cartridges I still use the above tried and true method.

This but I feel the inside of the necks should be clean as well so I use a caliber specific brass/bronze brush in a variable speed drill to remove residue before seating. An alternative is using a Qtip with a small amount of Imperial wax too lightly apply to the inside neck surface after cleaning the inside of the necks.

Enough lube stays on the inside edge of the mouth to cure all your problems with a dry neck. My method also. When adding lube to the pad, I usually put a small dab in one corner of the pad and 'dip' the case mouth there. I find about every other case is often enough. I tumble after resizing so the lube gets removed that way. Dale

I've got carbide sizer buttons for .30-06, .308, and .223.
I use Imperial on the outside of the case, below the shoulder.
