Items I have

After reading the abundance of useful replies I've received on this question, I have decided that I probably don't have to buy anything. I can just make up some conical lube out of items I have on hand. They include:

- Petroleum jelly
- Pure pork leaf lard (needs refrigeration, but BEST SHORTENING EVAR)
- Vegetable shortening (which, I'm much happier shooting this than eating it)
- Wax toilet rings
- Olive Oil
- Bulk automotive grease

For pistol bullet lube I use a mix of toilet ring wax and automotive wheel bearing grease, 50-50 by volume. I may warm up a bit of that and mix in enough olive oil to soften it a bit, then try that. It's a place to start anyway.

Thanks all for the help.
