Whenever I shot BP in cartridges using alox/beeswax lube the fouling was horrible. You'd be better off mixing 50/50 beeswax and either lard, tallow (deer or beef) or olive oil as a lube for the R.E.A.L. bullet and just smear it into the grooves.

+1 on not using Alox. With BP need to use non-petro based lubes. You can pan lube the REALs if you make your lube on the stiff side.

There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.
