removal of case lube

Does Dillon case lube need to be removed after reloading and before shooting? If so, how is the easiest way?

On bottleneck cartridges in particular, case lube must be removed. Failure to do so causes the cases not to adhere to the chamber wall when discharged. This increases the breechface thrust, accelerating wear on the bolt locking lugs.

 We are lazy. To easily remove lube, throw the loaded ammo into a case cleaner with plain corncob, and add one tablespoon of alcohol. Let run 10-15 minutes to remove the lube.

Thanks for the reply.
