I made a batch of lube last night and after it cooled (just sitting on the counter over night) I tried to remove the first bullet and the whole thing cracked! This was to pan lube some bullets. A few bullets I was able to remove with lube in the grooves, but for the most part it is not staying on the bullets. My recipe is as follows;
16 oz./50% beeswax
12.8 oz./40% Crisco vegetable shortening
3.2 oz./10% anhydrous lanolin
This is my first time making muzzleloader lube, but I think it should be "somewhat" pliable. I live in Florida, so it is not like it has been in freezing conditions. Can someone give me some guidance? I would be very much appreciative.
