My first cast bullet lube was made from goat fat. It seemed to work well enough, but I had doubts as to how long it might last without deteriorating.
My home lube is now made from beeswax and Prolan oil. But prior to that I just melted some beeswax and added enough olive oil to get the texture I wanted. The ladyfolk used it for lip balm, and I used it for bullet lube, grafting wax and for the occasional bit of leather dressing.
