Ok, lube gurus. I have read all the sticky’s and am not finding an answer to my question. I’m doing an experiment with a circa 1900 Ideal #6 30-30 W reloading tool, and am looking for a lube that would have been available in that time frame. I’m not sure Alox was available then. What would have your average shooter used to lube a batch of bullets? I’ve never tried pan lubing, but would be willing to give her a try. One basic recipe is saw is beeswax, Crisco, and canola oil. Pretty sure nobody knew what the heck canola oil was in 1900. Can somebody suggest a period lube for this experiment, if Alox hadn’t been invented yet? Only a small batch to lube maybe 50 bullets will be required.
