What case lube do you use?

I like the Lee stuff and find it to be excellent, but it takes too long to use with large batches of cases. Still, it's the best bang for the buck. I'm still using the original tube that I got when I started reloading nearly 20 years ago.
For bigger batches, I use the RCBS spray lube. I lay the cases in an old aluminum pie tray and spray very sparingly. Then I immediately roll and shuffle the cases for a few seconds. It works well.

WSS sells it, when it's actually in stock. It is sold by Redding now.
I was using Lee lube dissolved in rubbing alcohol> dump into a spray bottle and no mess. Unfortunately I didn't like cleaning the cases after. That white gunk seemed like it would be a real bad thing to get into the action.
Tried the Lyman spray and like everyone else had stuck cases.
Final option? No lube. Today I picked up some Lee collet dies which seemed to work pretty well. We'll see on the target I guess.

Imperial Sizing Wax for the cases and powdered graphite for any work with the necks works for me.

Hornady One Shot Case Lube Spray
I had some Lyman Spray, it sucked in comparison.
I tried the Lee white paste, and used too much and ruined some very expensive 45-120 brass.
(My Fault)
I learned that the nice thing about sprays is you can't use too much like the paste.
I use the lube in everything - from the 500 pieces of 9mm brass sitting in my case collator on the dillon 1000 to the single 308s in the RCBS Rockchucker.
No sense making the muscles do work that the lube can do.
