I used Javalina for years right up until Alox stopped manufacturing the main ingredient. It is now made by a different company and something is different. I always pan lubed mine as I experimented using it with a pump and found it quite messy. It was good lube but you have to be careful about heat and after a season it will get tired, Then the old batch needs to be discarded and fresh lube used. 
  When I stopped with Javalina I went to SPG while expensive it is consistent and never seems to break down or get tired. It works better as a pan lube than a pump lube. Its downfall is it's sensitivity to temperatures. Some have reported that on hot days the lube will become soft enough to start to run off. The practice of transporting lubed bullets in a small cooler was the solution. 
  About 2 years ago I got crazy and decided to develop my own lube formula. My goal was to make a lube that was consistent, gave no leading, and had a higher melting point than SPG or Smiley's formula. What I came up with I named Dapper Dan. I tested it up to 1800 FPS and it gave me no leading. I have been using the same batch for 2 years now and It shows no signs of breakdown. It will barely melt in a double boiler but it's like watching paint dry. I now put it in the oven at 250 degrees and it melts faster. If you are interested the formula is in the Lube section of the Forum.

The original Smiley lube that I use was purchased in about 1995-6. But sat unused until 3 years ago when I started back shooting and has not changed in those 3 years of use other than adding to it from the original batch. I've run it up to 16.6 gr 4227 (1670 fps) with a 190 gr 32 cal bullet (PB, no wad) w/o leading of any kind.

  Mike -- You are absolutely correct about the NRA Formula of 50% (A) & 50% (B.W.) bullet lube being out there for every-one's use.  It is in the public domain, and was proven first by the NRA Folks as being highly effective with cast lead bullets.  So no matter what the packaging label calls it, it belongs to everyone who would care to make in their kitchen, or alternatively, some business establishment that makes it and sells it.   No big mystery to me.

CCM I find your comments to be inappropriate by not being aware
of all of the facts and thus the apology would be owed by you.

ADDED:
By your comments, it would be perfectly alright to sell barrels and put Harry Pope name on them and not say that they aren't original. Correct?

If not, please tell us why that wouldn't be ok and relate it the selling of the lube.

I've never read that Harry Pope name was copyrighted. Any business name can legally be used if it isn't copyrighted.

But, if your in agreement that anyone can use any name they want and sell products in that name, please contact me, as I can stamp Harry name on a old barrel that I have and give you a good deal on it

Thank you, John. That does solve the problem
