Homebrew grease for muzzleloaders

I prefer tallow over lard, as some lard products have salt in them. I use beeswax, coconut oil, and lanolin for the BPCR, a little more coconut oil for the Hawken to keep it a little softer. For wiping I use Murphy's oil soap (25ish %) and distilled water (75ish%), when shooting long strings, I tend to wipe with one damp and one dry patch every 2nd or 3rd shot but I live in an exceedingly dry climate in NM.
