I have some eley tenex left over from my days shooting bullseye matches.
I went to shoot some of it a few weeks ago, but the coating on the bullets seem to be flaking off.
And the rounds did not chamber well.
Even back then Eley Tenex was not inexpensive, so I'd like to shoot it.
I'm guessing its a wax coating.
Twisting the round into a flanel cloth seems to help.
My question is this: What solvent would best help remove the wax?
I'm talking about a small amount on a cloth and twisting the bullet in the damp spot.
So its not so much about removing it but readhereing or smoothing it out.
I'd like to chemically affect the wax but not affect the bullet
Thanks
