I find a light tumble lube in LLA does the job. No need to use excess amounts.
I put 200-500 bullets in a glass casserole dish and place all bullets on their side.
I squirt a "Z" of LLA over the bullets and then shuffle/rotate the bullet for 30-60 seconds.
I then look at them all and if they are ALL shiny/wet looking, I am good to go. If not, I squirt a little more LLA and shuffle/rotate for another 30-60 seconds.
So far, that has worked well for bullets up to .44 Rem Mag max loadings and in my rifle loads with gas checks.
Paraffin wax from a candle is a horrible lube and should only be used if beeswax or grease is melted into it.
