if you are loading for a bolt gun and the brass has only been shot out of your specific gun just neck size it. Way less work and way better for the life of the brass.
You mentioned a collet die so i am guessing you are using the Lee Collet neck sizer. You dont need any lube for that and they work very well in my experience. Just trim your brass every 2 loads and shoot away.
I wouldnt worry about any tiny dimples from excess lube but your pic looks like they are bigger than any I have ever done. I would think those dents will shoot out no problem though.
Some may disagree but I only actulally lube every other case when Im full sizing with my Lee dies. I use the Rcbs lube and that stuff is thick! There is going to be a little left in the die and expander ball after running it through. I've never had a stuck case even though I might be taking a chance. Ive actually tried lubing one then running 2 dry ones through. The 3rd one was pretty stiff so I would not recommend that.
