Thank you for another great video. I shoot on the Tammany regiment. I have been sharing your videos with new members and recruits. Keep up the great work.
The British in India learned that animal fats in the mixture caused the lead bullets to oxidize. So the Enfield bullet at that time required tight tolerances. So they were running into loading issues. The solution was to use a smaller bullet and straight beeswax. No clue on Crisco.
I would wonder how stable the Crisco would be over say 20 years? Tallow is very stable and would last more than 20 years. Why? All plant or seed oils have a need for electrons and they pluck oxygen which causes rapid oxidation. Not so tallow which has an electron ratio exactly paired carbon to hydrogen atom. Unlike polyunsaturated lipids. which slows the degradation.
I can tell that any bullets that sit more than a month become much more waxy and rigid than fresh lube. This is why I typically do not lubricate bullets until just before a match.
Evidently this measuring cup is made by Anchor Hocking and is made of soda lime glass, which they have used for 40 years. It claims to be "oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer safe." www.anchorhocking.com/measuring-cups/ I've been using this one for 12 years with no problems so far.

Thanks for sharing the videos! I'm on a real push this year to increase the visibility of our sport and increase the membership in our region!
I have been using beeswax and olive oil mixture for several years. It seems to create less fouling for me.

Tallow and beeswax, an unnamed shooter in the MA region is known for cook offs..... He was using crisco.....
Works on cannonballs
Add a little Johnsons floor wax acts like alox is a microcrystaline wax
Bore butter crisco and beeswax

Was invented as a lube for u-boats in ww1
Pyrex glass like that is no longer heatproof it's not borosilicate anymore.

No cheap plastic funnels. Ouch and 10 years of cotton wax/towel fire starter.
