    I'm an early convert to lanolin/heet for sizing lube. After sizing I give the cases a rinse with acetone, I use a small strainer/basket and let them soak a few minutes. it removes the lube and leaves the cases dry. A quart of acetone lasts a long time since I reuse the rinse maybe three or four times. A side note; the lanolin mix is also a great rust preventative, sorta like cosmoline yet not as heavy and it's easy to remove.

    I lay 35 or whatever side by side on a small towel neck toward me, one quick pass spray (little bit) straight down on them of a 12/2 mix of heet and lanolin then roll them slightly back and forth. I size them and line them up above on the towel the same way and when done flip the towel over them and rub and clean them inside the towel then dump them in a container DONE. No tumbling, nothing....works very well and very fast, no lube left on them. Done it for years.
