I resize the case,then flip the q-tip around and wipe the inside of the neck out, removing any wax so powder doesn't stick to the inside of the neck when charging. Be careful not to get lube on the shoulder of the cases, or you're most surely going to get dented shoulders when you resize.
I forgot to mention that if you do short mag cases, it is absolutely essential that you lube the inside of the case necks. A sticky expander plug can actually pull the shoulder of the case forward slightly when removing it from the sizer die, causing the shoulder angle to change slightly and also increase case length which can cause the reloaded case to be difficult to chamber or will not chamber at all.
Best thing to remember, just lube inside of necks regularly, and you should have less problems....
