Hello, I have a FAS602 and it is very picky when it comes to ammo.
The thought is that the wax 'peels' off when chambering creating a cushion of sorts that prevents the bullet from seating fully and part of the energy of the firing pin strike goes to seating the bullet leaving insufficient energy to cause the bullet to fire (all misfires show that the case was struck)
So what is the best/safest/most reliable means of removing such wax? One suggestion I have received is to rub the ammo in an old towel. I imagine the use of solvents may be a problem lest it seep into the case. Any other suggestions?

Could you just shoot less waxy ammo brands? Like Lapua instead of Eley...
