Back in the 1970's when I first started shooting muzzle loaders Crisco came in metal buckets... I snagged an empty one and then melted about a quarter of a can in a large pan, added some beeswax I had gotten at a Hobby shop (candle makers sometimes use it) and melted that in... I then poured it in the bucket...
I still have it and when it gets low I just throw it on my gas grill on its lowest temperature and add in more wax and crisco...works great...
You might want to consider casting your own round balls and conicals. I have used both... Actually if you use the correct diameter Round Ball it almost becomes a Conical when you use the rammer to push it into the cylinder...
The bullet mould I have casts both Round and Conical bullets (one of each)...
