I use a long wooden stick Q-tip - the kind the doc uses & a bit of Imperial Wax or Hornady One Shot. It depends on the mood I'm in that day.
Are you saying the neck won't pass over the expander as you insert the case? It should pass right over it if the case has been fired. The die squeezes the neck down & the ball opens it up to the proper size.
I know every once in a while I will have a case that the neck is tight enough to where the ball wipes the lube off on the in stroke. There's usually enough left to make it over the ball on the out stroke.
