Randall had a good idea (ar15barrels) doing this in a shoebox too and rolling around to coat so less work than getting all coated standing up, then letting one box dry while starting the second one and sizing a dry box. You actually dont need each case too perfectly coated anyway because on average every 3-4 will have lube on the dryer sides of the others and the die will stay generally lubed enough.
Even with rifle brass I do every couple cases deliberately lubed and others don’t worry about it except my fingers still a little lubed, averages out.
* main reason I use lube on pistol cases is most of my pistol cases are nickel, which though still not requiring lube can leave debris in dies and mar following cases so the lube may help clear that if any nickel flakes, I haven’t seen any issues with it, actually didn’t use any lube for the first several years I resized the same batch of nickel brass many times
