Can any lubricant be used to size cases?

No, a few pretend that any lube can and then whine and cry when a case is stuck. Some wail and moan, tear clothes and nash teeth and others
use Imperial. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=42&t=309677

Avoid ONE SHOT in the pump bottle.  I've had great luck with Dillon's lube.

Make your own with liquid lanolin and 99% alcohol.
Works great!

ETA:Look at EWP post

Their are a bunch more on the subject...cant seem to find them though.

I use Lyman Spray lube for my bulk ammo, and imperial sizing wax for my precision ammo.

This.  Can make good sized batches for a decent price.  The homemade alcohol / lanolin stuff just works great...

I use Dillon or FA spray lube for bulk loading. Imperial for small batches.

If you decide to try "any lube" get a stuck case remover kit first.

I used this once and got by pretty well, Neutrogena Intensive Theropeutic Lotion. Don't kwon why but I was able to

resize about 300 cases with it used it like Imperial Sizing wax. No stuck cases. YMMV

sdshooter.................

P.S. Sounds silly but in a pinch it worked.
