whale oil

[bruce moulds]

i was recently fortunate to be given a small tub of what is described as 50% whale oil/50% beeswax.
unfortunately i cannot try the original sharps recipe, as i have no pure oil to add.
the guy who gave it to me said it will virtually melt off bullets in hot weather, which makes me sceptical that the original sharps formula would have been good universally. the original must have been pretty soft, because this is not hard.
i would like to try the 50/50 as is for a gg lube, and as a grease wad. as grease wads it might pay to use an over powder wad which seals well.
the other thing to try is making a 50/50 wax/tallow mix, and blending it with equal quantities of this. if it is a bit hard, some vaseline might add tackiness.
the other thing might be to use microwax with tallow, putting 2 waxes in the final mix.
experiments with paraffin wax have shown it to bleed some sort of oil in heat, so that will not be tried, although ozokerite would be considered if i can find any.
this stuff is really sticky when crushed between fingers, suggesting it would be good in barrels.
not sure if whale oil makes soap in contact with fouling and water, as tallow does.
this is all in the interests of historical study, as when it is gone, that is it.
what do you guys think might be avenues of exploration?
keep safe,
