...and I thought I'd share the recipe and results.
7oz beeswax
5oz Vaseline
teaspoon Lee ALox
teaspoon Johnson's Paste Wax
I put all that into a pan and melted it all down good, and then poured it all into a tupperware container to solidify. Once solidified, I applied it to some 420gr boolits with my fingers, and then ran them through a Lee push thru sizer. I thought the consistency came out fine...not super soft, but easy enough to rub into the lube grooves.
I loaded those over some H4198 for about 1400fps. They shot accurately and there was a nice lube star on the muzzle after a few shots. I'm happy with my home brew, so I thought I'd share with the class.
