John beat me to it. I used shooters choice and acetone then wiped with Never Dull pads. The lubalox is good and I just left that and it doesn't seem to affect shooting non coated bullets that much as far as grouping.

Any hollow point can get the tip clogged on entry and fail to expand or get bashed in the magazine. All bullets will fail at some point if you shoot enough of them. The Failsafes just had a few mixed results that were spread around widely.

Although I haven't tried it this is one bullet that could benefit from candle annealing to help it open up. I think some of the negative reports were from using the harder 300 magnum version in 30-06's and lesser velocity rounds.
