 I had the paraffin wax in Candle form, the beeswax showed up two weeks ago, and the mutton Tallow showed up Wednesday, so I now have the lubed wads.
I also made a couple of powder scoops for the FFF Pyrodex aiming for the average recommended grain load for those calipers by the manufacturer.
I have to assume that when people state a certain number of grains for a load it's not by weight but by volume of a particular type of measuring device because when I weighed out the grains, the minimum recommended load completely filled the cylinders on both the 36  cal Spillad & burr and the 44 New Army with no room what so ever for the wad or the ball!
Finally settled on pouring powder into the cylinder until I saw there was enough room for the wad and a lead ball.
I then dumped it into a brass case, marked the case so that I can cut it to size, (300 BLK with a damaged base trimmed to the shoulder for the 36) (a shortened 30-06 with enough of the center removed and the bottle neck soldered back on for the 44) and soldered a handles onto them.
