I'm not a big fan of aerosols, but anything that doesn't have to be cleaned off after, would be a plus, when loading in volume.
I have a lube method that's quick but may need to be cleaned off after, depending on your level of anal'ism.
I use the standard plastic type container/tub (coolwip, etc.) and a 30 cal. patch wet with something viscous, like chain saw bar oil, STP, motor honey, anything thick you already have in the garage, even RCBS case lube.
The key is the patch must be barely moist/sticky with the lube.
This may require experimenting, as once a patch has too much lube, you have to start over with another patch.
Put the patch(es) and brass in the tub and shake for 30 seconds...done.
If you can see the lube on the case, the patch is too moist.
So now the case is lubed on the outside, the neck end for expanding bullet seating, with no lube in the primer pocket, ready to be sized/loaded.
This method might work with the lanolin or udder cream mixture too...try it, what do you have to loose
I don't load many bottle necked ammo anymore, but by tumbling pistol brass with NuFinish, the cases are "waxed" and size much easier for me than brass that has been not been tumbled or wet tumbled.
just sayin'
