OK, got it.

Pop grew up in coal country PA during the first Depression. His version used melted tallow instead.

As an emergency improvisation, it's OK.

But good slugs are neither scarce nor expensive. Better choice, IMO.

I doubt shoving a semi solid mass of wax and lead through any great degree of choke is dangerous, but I believe accuracy will be iffy.
