Can I use Lee Alox and staffing wax and make a bullet lube? Using this for my 44 mag and lead bullets. What ratio should these be mixed?

Not familiar with staffing wax. Are you saying Lee Liquid Alox?
Paraffin.
Yes Lee liquid Alol
Several years I use Lee alox & Johnson liquid floor wax. (50-50) Not available any more. I found Landmark liquid floor wax 32 oz. but have not used it yet. Does not build up in seating die. & dries well not sticky!!

I tried the 50/50 mix with the Lundmark floor wax. It's pretty thick and I had trouble getting a nice thin coating on the bullets. I added mineral spirits to the mix and had much better luck.

Ben's Liquid Lube is what you have made. Read all about it in the stickys above
don't have to reinvent the formula. All the work is done for you.
Lee Liquid ALOX when still wet -- is lousy lube.
(When dry -- the absolute cat's meow.)
But back to the question: It is NOT an effective case lube in normal operations.
The original post was about using LLA and Paraffin wax,, not sure how that morphed into 50/50 or case lube ?
But to answer the original question.. I have no idea about using LLA and Paraffin, but I have used LLA and Bees wax at 1:1 for pan lubbing 38 special SWC's years ago and it seemed to work fine, but was messy and a hassle.
