[QUOTE="406ANGLER, post: 2873257, member: 126608"] Yes it matters. The container of neck lube is to 'refill' the application media container when it runs out. To use: shake the application media container to distribute the lubricant to the BB's, then apply the lube to the brass by dipping the case necks into the media container. Insert the cases no further than the base of the case neck where it meets the shoulder. Invert the case and lightly tap the neck against a table to get rid of excess lube prior to running it into your sizing die. To refill: dump some dry lube into the application media container, put the cap on, shake to distribute. Careful, it gets everywhere, and stains just as bad as black printer toner. I believe the BB's are porcelain or a similarly hard material, make sure none of them stick to the case when resizing or they will destroy your brass and get all over the inside of your sizing die. I have experimented with the dry lube to lubricate case necks for resizing, which worked well, but tends to build up inside the shoulder area of the sizing die and must be cleaned out on occasion. I have also used it for a bullet lubricant. My groups in several rifles shrunk but SD and ES increased significantly so I stopped using it. In my opinion it is a good option if you still use a case lube pad for resizing, but I prefer Hornady one-shot spray and tumble after resizing. [/QUOTE]
