I use Hornady One Shot spray lube for bullet lube to size with, but I am on the last gasps of the last can. I know I could do the LLA routine, but that takes forever to dry, especially in this monsoon humidity, any suggestions?

I use dish soap. Rinses right off.
I also pan lube, and just run them through the sizer. The first one makes it slippery for the next.

Furniture polish like Pledge has silicone in it and works great, buy the cheap stuff at the Dollar Store.

Use the dish soap as it will rinses off with water leaving no residue for when you lube the bullets.

Dish soap? That's the weirdest thing I ever heard...how do you apply it, put some on a cloth and roll them around on it? Seriously, I'll use it if that works, I just never thought of that!
NSP64, that's what I use - you don't get leading in the thing?

I am using the Lee sizer dry also. There is very little the sizer is doing and that is probably why I can get by with that method.

Cut the can open and rub out the last remaining drops (that's what I've had to do with toothpaste) :)

Just happened to have some in my garage from a few years ago...Prestone Silicone spray. I've since used it on my sprue plate hinges and discovered it works well for bullet lube before sizing and pistol caliber cases before decap/sizing. Autozone/Advance usually carry it.

Same here, high pressure dome moved in and we're having another drought. Never got back on track after the last three dry years even though we had some rain last spring.

Send some of that flood our way, will ya?

It's AZ's monsoon season, happens every year. We get all of our rain all at once, so much of it doesn't soak in well.
Silicone spray, that sounds encouraging, might try that! Thanks, guys!

One of these days, I'm going to try the water soluble cutting oil that I use on my milling machine.

Air humidity dies not affect speed of evaporating of the mineral spirits.

Just put the bullets in a bit of water, add some dish soap and size wet!
