Here's some beeswax that ought to be readily available http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/murray's-beeswax-for-hair/ID=prod1160607-product
It's not cheap, but you could at least give it a try to see if you like it.

I did as Mykeal suggested and got hold of the extension service.
They turned me on to the head man in the largest bee keeper's association in the region.
He was on his way to a conference (about keeping bees) but he arranged to let me come over when he gets back (next week)
I will be charging what he calls the national rate which should be somewhere around 2.00 to 4.00 a pound for wax that will need to be filtered.
I'll probably get about five pounds which should keep me in lube for a while.
We shall see.

Doc, I shoot alone most times myself and like it that way. I'm not anti-social, I just enjoy being alone.
There are times when I can get one of my 10 kids (so much for being alone) to accompany me to a shooting session. Particularly if I come up with a new sidearm they think is "cool".
For shooting my front-stuffers, I've used wonderlube for a very long time mostly because I'm unimaginative. And it has has worked fine. For the C&B revolvers, since I'm new into it, I haven't used up all the pre-lubed wads I bought for my initial supply yet. And I haven't put lube, grease, whatever over the loaded chambers. Maybe I will in the future. I did buy a supply of hard felt for wads after the original supply runs out.
For cleaning, I use HOT HOT soapy water, rinse in HOT HOT water and let dry by evaporation. Then a liberal coating of Ballistol before I put the irons up. Never had any rust issues with this process.
