So many people use crisco, so I can't say it's no good...but, I think it's too thin and if you can get some beeswax, it'd be worth melting some wax and crisco together for a thicker lube.
I have a large batch I made a year ago, which I can't replicate, it was an experiment with Beeswax, olive oil, lard, wintergreen and some green crayons. I tried to copy TC bore butter, but ended up with a lube even better. It's thicker and works great on the bolt and any part of the action in general. I use the same mix melted to dip felt wads too.
