Mega Mix Bullet and Patch lube?

[Levi Garrett]

I have some stuff, but to start with, I want to lube wads for cap-n-ball, and also want to lube bullets, smokeless, and muzzle stuffers.(2 batches you think)?
I got;
2 toilet rings- beeswax
Parawax 1 box= 4 bars
A bar of WAX from LeeValley Canbra... heck I forget yellow, and hard
2 sticks of lube Alox I figure , and a yellow nice smelling one
Olive oil= a ton of it
1 lb Lard, has the anti oxident stuff in it, its natural though.

I think thats it, how should I mix what parts of this to make 2 seperate lubes, one to hold in the grooves of a bullet, the other to soak into patches.???
Thanks all

I would suggest(IMHO) to only use non petrol ingreds., beeswax, lard or olive oil, and lanolin, the orig. US Army lube of 1873 called for Bayberry wax as well, but that is hard to get in this neck of the woods. If wanting a lube that is more liquid for soaking into patches, I would sub Murphy's soap for wax, as i could not get my lube to solidify the one time i tried using Murphy's.

Are the toilet rings of today really bees wax? I've been using one for fluxing casting lead and it seems to work but if it's a synthetic it's likely petrol based, right? Otherwise it's really cheap source of bees wax.

I have heard of guys using them as lube them selves!
