Switching to this for large batch of 223 & will be sizing with either RCBS small base or Lee die - most likely the RCBS SB.
I've read that lots of people like to use this type lube by putting brass in a 2 gal ziplock, spraying in a little lube, then closing bag & working the bag to distribute the lube everywhere. And I see lots of recommendations for that.
But my concern is - esp with the RCBS SB sizing die - is lube dents. It is way more sensitive than my Lee sizing die as far as lube dents go. But either will easily dent with too much lube, esp at the shoulder. So that method sounds great, but also sounds like it's going to coat the shoulders as much as anywhere else.
I use the Hornady Unique now and like it. Just keeping some on my fingertips usually keeps cases lubed well enough without overdoing it. However, with the case feeder now I won't be handling the brass like before. Could still use that lube, but will be a lot more time to apply it, and a faster method like coating palms & acting like I'm mixing dough will probably put too much on some. Since I've never used the alcohol/lanolin spritz not sure what to expect or if lube dents are a concern with it.
