Bullet Seating: Lubing

If anything, one should size, cut/hone the inside of the case neck, then size neck to optimal diameter, and seat bullets.
 
Lubed the necks of a batch of annealed brass with:

Hornady Unique
Redding Imperial dry neck lube

I lube the inside of my case necks for FL sizing. I Q-tip out the lube with 91% alcohol so the powder doesn't stick inside the case necks. I found the bullets seated better/more consistent CBTO with just a wiping of the Unique off the case and onto the base of the bullet than I did dipping the bullets in the dry lube. Really, whatever film is on my fingers handling the Unique lube was enough.

What have ya'll found?
I don’t lube my necks on anything I load other than whatever oneshot that may get into them when I spray them down before FL resize.
