just thought i'd give all you other thrifty shooters a heads up on a possible cheap source of beeswax for your lube .
my most excelent wife likes to shop at the goodwill store a few towns over and yesterday she came home with about 15 lbs worth of beeswax candles at a total cost of $2 .... me bein a nice guy i only stole about half of them ,.. so remember when your out looking for pewter at the second hand stores dont forget your lube ingrediants also

yes they was still in the origonal packaging , and labeled 100%pure california beeswax ,.
im not sure if or how you could tell beeswax from any of the other waxes but if you look at the bigger candles theres usualy a sticker on the bottem .
she also got a couple big tapers labeled tallow ,.. not sure what to use them for yet

if i can get my nephew over tomarow ill post a couple pics i'm still near the stone age here with no fancy phone and film cameras

Yep. That's a great way to find them. I always look for a label on the bottom but haven't found any yet. Don't worry about the pics, the packaging answered my questions. :p

You'd better hang onto that Californistan beeswax. They'll have a law pretty soon about taking away beeswax from bees who have worked so hard to make it. If it's something good in California, they'll figure out a way to make a rule against it.

AWWWW at least CA hasn't started fee's for acts of god like they have here in the town i live in. They have a fee for "rain run off" if you have a blacktop drive way you get charged for water running into the storm sewers.

Fish you should bill them for saving a natural resource. The bee's in Cali fall right into Cali politics as the live in communes.[smilie=s:
