"Fixing" Emmert's lube for higher speed

[daschnoz]

I made a batch of Emmert's (almost) lube for the muzzle loader. It turned out to be 45% beeswax, 45% crisco, 10% canola oil. I made enough of it for mine and my son's lifetime.

What can I do to the above mix to make it more suitable for higher speeds with center fire cartridges?

I started making the original Emmerts recipe for my BPCR 45-70 a couple of years ago.
I am now using it for my handgun cast loads and cast loads for my M/N. The M/N loads are
gc'd and running about 1600 - 1800.
I have had good results with the smokeless loads. No leading issues. Last week, I made a
new batch, substituting the vegitable oil with anhydrous lanolin. The lube is thicker and
stickier. I believe this will work better (stay on the boolits while handling) for the smokeless
loads, but haven't had a chance to load and shoot any bp loads as yet.

higher speeds?
my 50 cal is the same speed as my 44 mag levergun.
if you are thinking 308 at 2k, i'd imagine some ivory soap or carnuba to harden it and lanolin to help it stick and be more flexible, all or any of these at under 5% [volumn] each.
