None.

I use Crisco vegetable shortening.

It would be helpful to know the other ingredients in your lube. also beef tallow might not be the best as most lubes that use tallow specify mutton tallow which is available from Dixie Gun Works.
An excellent lube recipe is 40% mutton tallow, 40% paraffin, and 20% bees wax.

I have found this recipe to be an excellent lube for smokeless and black powder reloads.  If one wants to enhance the lube, substitute the 20& beeswax with microcrystalline wax.  The hardening grades will range from about 175-200 F melting temperature ... for a hot weather lube

In Germany I could not found beef tallow but pig was readily available. Always hoped a Holy warrior would make an appearance on the range.

If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.
