Been reloading handgun ammo for some time now. I use Lee Carbide dies. Since converting over to a progressive press about a year ago I have found that the force required to pull the lever is a lot. Most of the energy is coming from the sizing station. I have never used sizing lube because I only reload handgun cases and I use carbide dies. I read somewhere that if I use sizing lube it would significantly reduce the required effort. I tried it and sure enough it did help out a lot.
My question is this, what is the easiest way to apply case lube? I didn't want to use a pad so I just bought a can of Hornady One Shot to experiment with. I keep my clean brass in gallon zip lock bags. Is it ok to just spray some One Shot into the gallon bag each time I add brass to the bag and shake the bag around or should the case lube be applied right before reloading the brass?
