Is pork lard ok for use with bullet lubes (BP revolver and miniball type stuff)

They are NEW NEW?? I want one. Yo think they will ship??

I made lube. 50/50 brown beeswax and crisco, then added three teaspoons of soybean oil. It has the consistency of cashew butter, it is sticky, not too sticky, but sticky. It's also very greasy but maybe not quite as greasy as the TC bore butter. It doesn't gravitate toward laying down, it holds it's shape well. I think I will leave this mix, change to 60/40 crisco/beeswax with same oil content. I would like to have a slightly smoother texture, one that is a slight bit less stiff with better flow and a bit greasier.

I shall shoot both. I didn't get the Cabelas starter kit. I opted for nicer components and spent my points wisely to max out value. I needed a nipple wrench but nobody in town has one to fit. So I had to make one, used an RCBS screwdriver (flat) ground the first 1/4 inc off end. Then I used a dremel disk to cut a slot the width of the nipple boss. Ground the wide part of the tip to be cylindrical and radiused all edges outside the slot. Looks like a spanner driver bit with a square slot instead of pins. It locks onto the nipple very tight, no slop. It doens't cam around either so teh nipple boss should stay square and not get jacked up. It was $15 shipped for a proper wrench, I didn't want to eat shipping for a little cheap tool. I have not cleaned the factory crap off the gun yet due to lack of the wrench. I have antiseize for the nipples. I will be trying to acetone all metal parts, then ER all parts for preservative. Ed Harris has used ER for the interior of the barrel and cylinders (I believe he removes what he can before first shot). I also need to check the lockup on two cylinders and bolt width. I am expecting to have a heck of a time getting the wedge out, as everyone seems to the first time. I am anxious to shoot it. Read up on paper cartridge techniques. I was a pyro as a teenager, separated plenty of nitro from dads dblbase powder, then got the NG headaches to go with it. Intend on using cigarette papers to roll (as others have), paper powder charges with a pseudo flash paper coating at base to generate higher sensitivity for ignition. I am using Pyrodex for charges so a layer of paper to cap thru will be even harder to light charge. It's worth a try. A small amount of nitrocellulose permeated into the base of the paper charge should make things go. Just don't know if the paper will tolerate a dab of solvent with any handling without tearing or falling apart during the coating. I wanted to premeasure charges before a shoot, to facilitate testing and the paper charges seemed like a viable option. Most folks have had success with BP, but not substitutes.

Any advise on the consistency of the lube?? I know I deviated from the Emmerts recipe but I don't think soybean oil is that big a change from canola and the 10% variation of wax/grease wouldn't hurt tooooo much. More crisco????? Or more wax?????
