Recipe needed

I am looking for a dip recipe to lubricate heel type lead bullets. What did they lube them with in the old days? What are 22s lubed with now?

I hope someone can provide me with some assistance.

'The NRA Handloader's Guide' 1969 a compilation of 'American Rifleman' articles from 1950 to 1968.

One article in that book is 'Pistol Champion Target loads'. All 9 featured champions use 'Hensley & Gibbs' bullets, but the lubrication varies:

1) Gertrude E. Backstrom, locomotive side-rod grease

2) F. Bob Chow, perfect lube

3) G. P DeFino, Lyman Ideal

4) William E. Guiette, 7 parts way grease, 1 part Keystone open gear grease

5) Gil Hebard, Ipco Colloidal Graphite

6) John W. Hurst, 2 parts beeswax, 1 part paraffin, 1 part cosmolene

7) Ellas Lea, 3 pounds petroleum jelly, 1 1/2 pounds beeswax, 12 oz paraffin, 6 oz carnuba wax, 4 oz fine graphite

8) Harry Reeves, equal parts beeswax and water pump grease

9) W.T.Toney jr., 2 parts beeswax, 1 part beef tallow, 2 tablespoons powdered graphite to 3 pounds mixture
