I used to use Jakes 50/50 alox lube.
Then I bought some alox ( not the liquid form) from him and mixed in 50% beeswax. It worked fine in most guns, but leaded the last inch of the muzzle on 9mm.
I added 10% parafin wax to it to thicken it a little, and it worked great.

Now I use 50/50/10 (beeswax/alox/parafin) in everything and really like it. Plus the alox was cheap and the beeswax was about $1/lb.
