Hornady One Shot spray lube also. Seems to work fine. Sure beats the lube pad of yesteryear.
I still use the lube pad. I don't have the space to deal with an over-spray mess of the other methods. .
Oh, nothing wrong with the lube pad, I've just gotten a bit lazier in some things. :lol:

If I'm doing a large number of cases, I put them in a large zip loc bag and spray them and shake 'em up. Put them in a cardboard box-top (a couple of inches deep) for a few minutes and let 'em dry.
Fewer cases, I'll use the lube pad - it seems to have therapeutic properties.
But we haven't come up with a "no wipe" approach.
Must be a technical reason there aren't carbide rifle dies.

I won't use that method. I don't want liquid lube inside the cases to contaminate the powder.
