Has anyone come up with a good recipe for a cast bullet lube appropriate for magnum pistol loads that does not use beeswax?
I'm thinking of trying toilet seal wax plus calcium stearate. Calcium stearate is a non-water-soluble soap, and a pretty good lubricant. I think it might be the main ingredient in Alox. Hopefully it will take some (but not all) of the stickiness out of the toilet wax, and raise the melting point (technically, it's called the "dropping point") That's my theory anyway... It may take me a month or so to get around to testing it...
