My solution is to spray lube the cases. Pistol cases loaded with carbide dies do not need lube but it works. My LGS has their own proprietary case lube using an alcohol base for dispersal in a spray bottle but any good spray on case lube should work.
You may find your powder charge a bit light. I use 4.2 gn Tightgroup under a 148 gn HBWC in my 6" 686-4. Hodgson lists this as a +P load with a max 4.4 gn at 980 fps, and while I can't offhand remember the velocity it is lower than Hodgson lists (most of their loads are a bit optimistic in my experience). I load for a minimum 120 PF with an additional 8-10 PF as a safety margin so it is probably in the 850-900 fps range. In a .357 Magnum case velocity will be a fair bit lower again.
And Starline brass will last for years. I loaded an original 500 cases for almost 20 years to +P pressures before I bought some more to replace those that were splitting.
How are you ensuring the case mouth interiors are coated with a spray? I don't mind the stickyness of the full length sizing/decapping die, it's not that bad, the sticking in the expanding die really interrupts my flow though.
I have some Alcohol/Lanolin lube that works great but there doesn't appear to be a time efficient way to get it on the case mouth interior.
