There is a place that sells it, can't find it right now, but you might look through this thread and find it. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=26524
There's a lot of good information on that thread too.

I think the place you want is called Texas drone. A google seacrh should turn the website up for you./

I have purchased Carnauba Wax flakes (along with a lot of other stuff for lube) from:

Majestic Mountain Sage
Logan UT 84321
Phone: 435-755-0863

Excellent products, customer service, and shipping policies. I believe they have a web site.

In answer to your second question, it serves to polish and condition the bore more than as a lubricant... it hardens the mix somewhat, but seems to not be of much value in amounts about about 5-10%. I've added it at the rate of about 5% to my version of Emmert's lube that I use for both BP and smokeless as well as my own proprietary smokeless lube known as "Frog Guano" but that's another story. ;-)

Group buy for lanolin, Stearic acid, and Carnauba wax going on now. See the GB Section. Closes this week.
