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?

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.
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
