    Possible BPCR lube?

    I have some bear oil and some beeswax and some lanolin and was thinking about mixing up a little batch to use for bpcr .45 Colt.

    Any thoughts or opinions?

    You could make a version of emmerts improved. Bear oil was a staple in the old days.
    45% beeswax
    45% unsalted crisco shortening
    5% oil
    5% anhydrous lanolin
    Other wise thin beeswax with the oil and lanolin to the consistency wanted. For ease I would stay around 5-10% lanolin.

    I'd stay at 5% lanolin period, it's great stuff but more than that turns the lube into something other than intended.

    I'd go with the recipe above, it's super close to what I use for B/P.
