what % of gv shortening tallow/lard do you use in your recipes and which listing in a lye calculator do you use?

Hi @Essential Bliss
Take a look at the date above your avatar. Then look at the date on the post before yours. Oopsie! No worries. You're fine. But..

TIP: To get @bookreader451 's attention, put an "@" before the name. That way, if she's still around, she will get an alert and most likely respond.

When browsing old threads, pay attention to dates and remember:
Asking topic-related questions on an old thread (aka "necroposting") is not a problem but it's best to start a new thread if your question isn't related to the topic (aka "hijacking a thread").

SoapCalc has Walmart Great Value listed.

I use anywhere from 40-50% tallow or lard. Tallow I use the tallow beef listing in soapCalc.

SoapCalc -- for those who don't already have it bookmarked.

That works for pure tallow, but is not the correct listing for the GV tallow that @Essential Bliss was asking about. @linne1gi gave the correct SoapCalc listing for that.
