That lists cartridges and also some bulk loading guns. Some idea of your
application would be good. I've used toilet ring wax (which isn't beeswax
anymore) to make wax bullets but I melted it in a mixture with paraffin. It
didn't seem like anything you coulld squeeze out of a caulking gun.



So, I have now ordered the refillable tubes and a high thrust 26 to 1
Red Devil gun that I hope really is better than my conventional guns.
What I need now, is a bulk wax that is fairly soft... toilet ring is
what I would use if trowelling it in but that's not what I am shooting
for. Squeezeable is what I am hoping for.


I'm assuming your not trying to make toilet rings. It woudl help to
know what you are trying to do.

You might have to warm the wax, but I don't khow how much. You can
probably warm it while it is in the gun, at least if you get the water
to about the temp you want the wax.
