Candle wax(parafin)alone will not act as a lubricant should.I tried it once and got the worst case of leading I've ever had.I now use it to harden my regular recipe(handguns:50/50 Alox 350+beeswax;rifles: lithium grease+graphite+carnuba).More candle wax for bullets shot during summertime and less for wintertime.
