I usually thin alox when it is used by itself. I thin about 25% with mineral spirits and swish. Alox works in most calibers for me, but I'm sure there are situations that it doesn't. So far it has worked in my .38 and .44 Specials and both .357 and .44 Magnums at magnum velocities. Another easy tumble lube is Recluse's 45-45-10 (45% alox-45% Johnson's Paste Wax-10% mineral spirits) which has worked in every application I've tried.
