Sub-zero bullet lube performance?

Go to the Cast Bullet Forum and get the formula for Felix Lube. Stuff is easy to make and works in all my pistol and rifle applications.

Felix lube:

from castboolits.com

2 Tablespoons mineral oil
1 Tablespoon castor oil
1 Tablespoon Ivory, or homemade soap (grated)
1 Tablespoon Lanolin
Beeswax - Piece approximately 3 1/2" X 3 1/2" X 1 "

Heat mineral (baby) oil until it starts to smoke.

Add castor oil, and stir continuously for 1/2 hour.

Sliver the soap, and stir into the mixture a little at a time, until melted.

Add the beeswax before the lanolin, and then when that is melted, reduce or remove the heat and add the lanolin, thus not running any risk of burning or scorching the lanolin.

1 teaspoon of carnuba wax can be added to give a shiny bore. This can be found on the seal of Makers Mark whiskey, or the red wax on cheese from the supermarket.

Once made, let cool. This can be remelted in a microwave, and poured into the lubrisize
 
Stirring is the key to this lubes performance so make sure you stir it as directed. Felix Robbins is a good friend of mine and is a chemical engineer. Something about molecules yada yada. Stuff works great.

Did he mention heating it in a pot of boiling water... Instead of using an open flame or hot plate?

A good friend of mine told me only heat and make lubes with a container inside boiling water...
