Homebrew grease for muzzleloaders

Haven´t had a chance to play with conicals in... way too long. I'd favor tallow over lard and would also look at olive oil as a possibility. Beeswax, of course, the question being - what to use to get it soft enough for the purpose. My favorite natural lube back in the day involved the use of stingless bee wax, a commodity even more difficult to source now than back then. For what it's worth, I tend to use olive oil for my round ball patches.
