My response in red: You need a better lube
You made a statement of fact here so must believe the cookie cutter has some negative effect on accuracy ???????????
No-No. Not accuracy. The cutter makes a big mess and keeps people from pan-lubing bullet. I would quit pan-lubing too if it made a big mess.
1) lube mixture ? (mine is obviously unsuitable for the excercise despite it does the job quite well on the boolit and in the barrel)
2) technique for doing this without the cookie cutter? (also obviously have missed something here too)
I am sure your lube works fine for the shooting part. With the correct lube, of which there are many, you can easily push the tapered bullets or reduced band bullets out from the lube cake, pushing the nose down into the cake and the base out first and have them be perfect - lube where it should be and none, as in "none" where it shouldn't be.
I hope to have more time after next weekend and we can pick it up again then if you or anyone is interested.
