I have read that it does not matter what type of grease you use, but I won't argue about it.
If you HAVE to have bee's wax, go to an apiary site and buy all the "foundations" you want. Sheets of pure bee's wax. Start at about a buck each.
I use a mix of bee's wax, mutton tallow, actually sheep fat, made myself when baking a piece of lamb, and olive oil. Lamb fat is soft at ambient temps, and when mixed with enough olive oil (use the "Pomace", the cheap stuff, not the EVOO), it will be spreadable. I found out a long time ago that unless you keep your tube of "Bore Butter" in your armpit in the cold weather, you ain't squeezing it out of the tube.
I soak woolen cloth in the mix and let it gel, use 3/8 and half inch punches to make .36 and .44 under powder wads. I bought a full length lady's coat at Salvation Army store for 10 bucks. Wads are near an 1/8 inch thick. Melt in the nuke in a CD stack cover. Make hundreds of them in a short time.
The toilet bowl rings I looked at in the HD and Lowe's stores say explicitly that they are petroleum waxes. Bee's wax is as hard at room temp as paraffin is. You will not seat a toilet on a pure bee's wax ring. Hard as a rock.
Cheers,

mykeal,
PURE lamb tallow would make a heavenly smell when you shoot, too. I love lamb. Mebbe some of the shooters should try peanut oil as the oil part of the blend.
