For smaller quantities (100-200 at a time) one of the best and easiest alternatives is pure white lithium grease, available at any auto parts supply store. A dab on the fingertips allows you to quickly fill the lube grooves. Lubrication is excellent for cast bullets, and accuracy will rival anything else available. I have used this for many years on bullets for .45-70, .45-90, .45 Sharps Express, as well as relatively high velocity loads (2100FPS+) in the .30 calibers.

The lithium grease cartridge I bought in about 1985 is still in use today. Cost was about $3.00.
