What is the wax that you are using? The stuff that I had that went bad on me was a beeswax mix that I bought in a 1 pound cake. I live in the desert and we get temps up to 115 F in the summer. The stuff was stored in a shed for a couple of months. I also had a big blob of bullet lube in the box when I got around to moving my stuff into my new, air conditioned, reloading shed.
Like I stated, I like shooting with the wax checks so If you have a better mix, share!
Well, I've got some - and you don't.
This stuff was marketed many years ago by CFVentures. I got to using it and then read an ad that I thought meant they were going out of business, so I bought what I thought would be a life-time supply.
When that order arrived, they included an explanation that they weren't going out of business, just quitting retail sales.
A little later, they *did* go out of business, but I've still got enough for several thousand more rounds.
I don't know if the stuff is equivalent to any of the common bullet lubes or if it could be heated enough to be able to apply it in the same way as a lube. When it gets warmed up by body heat from handling it to cut wads it gets a little sticky but per above, it doesn't appreciably deform when shot.
It probably would be a PITA to dip bullet bases in liquid Alox, but that *might* suppress gas-cutting and consequent leading.
Edited to add:
When the company was active, they suggested solvents that could be used to dissolve the stock so the 'sdahc' (remainder after after cutting the wads) could be used to tumble-lube bullets. IMHO, liquid Alox was a *lot* simpler and easier.
