Lube for sizing up brass using expander mandrel

[deep south]

Just wondering soooo
Ive been using unique for sizing up from 30cal to 338 .
I'm using nitrided expander mandrel.is anyone using or tried just using Redding graphite?
I think I know answer to use imperial or unique like I've been doing but hate removing lube from cases? Anyone got better suggestion?

A little alcohol on a swab or mop takes it right out but if you don’t like cleaning off the lube try the dry neck lube, if you feel it’s going smoothly continue if not go back to the lube but no matter what lube you use it will need to be removed.

Edit:
The dry lube doesn’t need removed

If you have a multitude of mandrels try .325 then .338

I use the Redding Imperial dry neck lube in the media. I just dab the neck in, and make sure you periodically shake the container up, so you get at least a little graphite lube powder suspended, and on the neck. I don't like the wax or other material that you have to then remove afterward. Makes another step, and hard to verify you don't have some wax or lube still inside, below the neck. YMMV

Dry lube or multi step mandrel maybe both
