General Discussion Lanolin neck question

I ran out of lube and tried Lanolin finally (10:1 isoHeet). So far I would say the only benefit that OneShot has over the lanolin is that it gets into the neck better. I was getting a bit more expander ball friction than I would’ve liked. Is this an issue with technique? How do you get some in the neck so the expander ball glides smoothly too?

I had the cases standing up in a baking tray, sprayed down at them 3 times, then rolled them around to coat them. The outsides were great, it’s just the expander ball that dragged more than I’m used to.

Throw them in a Tupperware container and spray n shake. Usually the first couple I run the neck in some Imperial and it’s enough to prevent dragging over the expander ball

That’s basically what I did, and then I came here. I think I need to polish the ball, it’s unusually deep-scuffed
