I'm using a mixture of Lee Alox and Minwax paste wax. I didn't measure either one, just heated and stirred in a glass pimento jar and poured it into an empty Alox squeze bottle. I've lubed at least a thousand bullets with the 2 ounces or so that I mixed up, and I still have quite a bit left. The wax eliminates the stickiness and also makes it cheaper to use. I do get a little leading when I use it in .357 Magnum or .41 Magnum with "tumble lube" microgroove bullets, but the leading seems to be self-limiting and it's not all that hard to clean out.
