The old fashioned way to lube bullets was a lube tray with a wax cutter. We stood all bullets on their base in a shallow tray, and pour melted wax into the tray to the top of the lube groove. When wax hardened, we used a round cutter tube, inside diameter matching bullet diameter (like .309" for 30-30) and cut the bullet free. Typical wax was 50/50 beeswax and mineral oil. A little messy 100 years ago they didn't have Amazon to by Alox to make bullet lube.
As late as the 1960's, Lee advised 50/50 paraffin wax and motor oil, and advised using it as case lube for resizing in addition to bullet lube in the shallow tray. It sucked as case lube.
I think the Lyman tong was more popular than any other. Mine is a Lyman 310.
