I sprayed them while standing up on the loading block and thought that was good enough. I guess I could try shaking them in a box afterwards.

I think most of my trouble comes from the hurry up mode I want to get in like I'm loading pistol ammo. Rifle ammo just isn't like that.
I did some searching for powdered graphite and found a lot of artist places sell it for pretty cheap.

I also read that graphite can cause corrosion on aluminum so if any dies have aluminum (what are Lee outsides made off?) it may be a problem for them or the turret???????
