The Lube and pad method is really pretty fail safe, my preferred method though is Hornady Unique case lube in the white tub. It seems to be nothing but mink oil. Thumb and forefinger right in the lube messaging the casing completely as I bring it up to the shellplate. Feeling the amount of lubricant has proven 100% reliabile for me above and beyond other methods. I have tried spray lubes with least success. Fingers on the case before you resize is the only way to understand if the correct amount and area is properly covered with lubricant for proper function, and no dents.
