PyrotekDry case lube...does it exist?
Can typical teflon/graphite/moly/mica powder be used as case sizing lube?
If so, where can I buy them?
I've been using Lee lube that come in a toothpaste tube when loading at range, but I got
even lazier. At home I use RCBS lube, then I wash the case with water and slightly heat
dry the brass, not an option when loading outside home(Wait, maybe I can dry them with
my car engine... on the second thought... forget it).
Ideas?

<Abe Normal>Use the Lee lube as a spray on lube. Mix one tube of Lee lube with 12 to 16 ounces of denatured alcohol, mix thoroughly, and use as you would any spray on lube.

Need Just 1 More GunI have used some of Imperial's dry lube for neck sizing, and use the Imperial wax occasionally for case forming and just doing a few cases.
For loading a bunch of rounds, the Hornady One-Shot is great stuff!!!

Mule SkinnerImperial Sizing Die Wax. Nothing better in my opinion.
I use Imperial dry lube for neck sizing. Don't know how well it would work for full-length. It is a bit on the dirty size.

I use plain, garden-variety powdered graphite. It's messy as heck and gives you black, shiny fingers

, but it works and I just slap a Lee shellholder in the power drill and polish it off with a rag and steel wool. Well, I
like shiny brass -- and I have way too much time on my hands
