Dry Lube case necks??

I have used ultrasonic cleaners (pretty clean) and the SS pins with a Thumbler Tumbler (very clean). Is getting the inside case neck too clean a problem? Saw a picture of Neconos Dry-Lube Kit in the Daily Bulletin, does the powder stick to the dry lube? If so, wouldn’t it work better to apply the dry-lube to the bullet before seating? Are other methods worth looking into?
 
Have you ever put two glass surfaces together? Hard to separate?
The same thing happens when two polished surfaces are put together under pressure ( called stick-shun ). Same thing happens when loads are not shot for a long time. Couple cures: only shoot newly seated loads, or load long and re-seat before firing. Having more neck clearance reduces the problem..

If you polish the inside of the necks, you better use some sort of lube!
 
I use a Bonanza Case graphiter with Imperial dry neck lube. It is a graphite based lubricant. Motor Mica will also work. Powder won't stick to either of the two and they will not affect or degrade the powder. A must if you are using an expander ball in your dies.
