Any one have a formula for tallow based lube mix? Maybe with beeswax ?

I rendered some deer tallow and while its a bit stiffer than others, it worked just fine as a patch lube.Thanks for the thoughts folks. I should have mentioned beef tallow is what I have. Rendered it from trimmings a friend (meat-cutter) saved for me. Possible use, patch lube for rifle and ball lube for cap n ball.

Beeswax and paraffin wax are...well they should be imo.... a thing of the past. I never understood the reason behind using something as nasty as wax in your bore.

Soooo! What do you recommend?Beeswax and paraffin wax are...well they should be imo.... a thing of the past. I never understood the reason behind using something as nasty as wax in your bore.
There are 100's if not thousands of lube recipes and they all work for someone, and don't work for others. This fact tells us at least two things about lubes.
1. Their performance is highly subjective.
2. That they all perform essentially the same function.
Knowing this, I always question what it is about a lube that makes someone like or dislike it.
