    what you are doing there is a very dangerous practice. what you are doing is forcing all the chamber pressure to become bolt thrust. The case under pressure is suppose to stick to the chamber walls but by adding lube to prevent this from happening you are basically firing a proof round every time as the locking lugs are taking all the weight.
    Chambers should be clean and dry and cases should be clean and dry.
