Best Lube and technique for LEE bullets with tumble lube grooves ?

What seems to be the best for these type bullets.
Will be shooting the LEE C312-185-1R about 1800-1900fps

I tumble lube them with LLA. That's what they were designed for.

I hand lube with Felix lube, run through a Lee die to remove excess. The boolits work very good with a real lube.

I was kinda leaning this way.
Was thinking trying Pan lubing them

Will be shooting the LEE C312-185-1R about 1800-1900fpsThe C312-185-1R has regular lube grooves, at least mine does and all the others I've seen. I suggest if you want to TL those bullets for that velocity you follow Lee's LLA directions. The directions are simple and straight forward and if done correctly the LLA lube will work fine for that bullet at that velocity assuming the alloy and powder used are correct and the GCs are seated correctly.

WWVA lube;
4 oz. paraffin
4 oz petroleum jelly
2 oz. Lee Liquid Alox
2 heaping tablespoons Johnsons Paste Wax [carnuba wax]
Heat components until all melted, then pan or dip lube. May require a heater for the Lyman or RCBS lubrisizers.

If you get your shots in the black, the 10s and Xs will take care of themselves.
