I had the same problem when I started making my own pan lube. If I were using your formula I would cut way down on the vaseline and mebbe even drop the paraffin. Another hint, I would put the lube around the bullets and warm the whole pan/bullets/lube together in a toaster oven (I use about 175-200 degrees for 20-25 minutes). The lube will stick to the bullets much better that way. I now use a "cookie cutter" I made out of stainless steel tubing reamed to a few thousandths over the bullet diameter...
