I haven't used that mixture, but it's not unlike what most have described. It would certainly be a good lube to start with and see how your rifle likes it.Been doing research since I came into possession of a like new 1863 Remington contract rifle. It's an early Jager Armi replica. Bore is.577 1 in 22 twist. Large arms manuel I have printed in the 1860s calls for a mix of 60% beeswax and 40% mutton tallow. Any one have experience with this mix for minie balls? I got the ingredients together last fall, but have been laid up since then and haven't had the chance to try it out.
