I tried the dry lube and was very disappointed. As a test, lube 1 case with mica and the other with a liquid lube. The amount of force needed to pull the expander through the neck is greater with the mica.

I am going to try the Heet and lanolin mix posted by screwbolt. Thanks.
I switched from lube pad to one shot some time ago.
I had a problem a while back pulling the shoulders forward with 35 whelen cases formed from 30-06. since then I have paid a lot more attn to the inside of the necks being lubes.
I go through a lot of q-tips

It's tough to argue One-Shot in my book. Lubes all of your cases in seconds, and since the switch I've not gotten any shoulder dimples or stuck cases. I stand my brass up on a counter or in a loading block and spray it straight down into/onto the brass. Maybe a quick shot from the side for good luck. Done. I just finished FL resizing about a thousand 223 this morning, and I cringe at the thought of going around with a q-tip or whatever other devices have been suggested to lube necks :D

Exactly... WSM cases can cause the same problem without inside neck lubing.
