Check out the picture of the lube and the case punching the lube.
Notice that the circles overlap, therefore no need for a needle hole.

Keep on hav'n fun!

Just don't make that crescent moon to large or your bullet will grow a tail.

Kurt, Thanks for the secret recipe! Didn't even have to use my decoder ring!

Sam.
That is a receipt like your Mother used to make your favorite meal, ultra top..top secret. A hand full of that, a pinch of this and stir the pot

Sam I use a mix of Ozokerite wax sap #1021 it has a melting point of around 170 degrees and a high carrier point.
Or I use Soy wax if I don't have the OZ wax. but it has a lower melting point. I have also used B Wax. All three will work.
Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. It has a melting point of around 170 degrees also. This is why I can make this lube very soft so most stays in the bore to keep fouling soft. Vaseline has been used for lube since it was invented in the late 1800 rds. I use it straight for muzzleloader patch lube and it lets me shoot the whole match without having to clean to seat the ball.
Peanut oil for blending the consistency.
Yes there is a lot of petroleum stuff in this mix that is supposed to make tar when you use black powder.
When I make a batch I put a duped hand full of wax and two jars of Vaseline. I think they are 13 oz jars.
And pour in a little peanut oil.
I put this in a old deep fryer and just about fill the pot with water and I let this simmer for a couple hours so it mixes well.
Let it cool and take a pinch of the set mix between my thumb and finger and squeeze it. if it's like room temperature butter it's done if it's to soft I add more wax and let it cook some more, but don't let the water cook away. When it like I want it I lift the cake out of the deep fryer and clean the jell off the bottom.
This lube will not oxidize or spoil stored in the open. I just wrap some cling wrap around it to keep it clean.
This I use for the PP bullets. It tends to be crumbly mixed stiffer and needs a little more binder to hold in a GG bullet.

Thanks for the recipes guys. So what I'm hearing is these will all work better than the straight SPG cookies that I have been using??

Probably not. But there is always hope!
