What is best no nonsense approach to remove hardened beeswax from mini bullets?

[GREENSWLDE]

I think lambs tallow is softer. Elmer Keith I think was the
first on it. Mike the duelist 1954 also recommended it.
Beeswax alone was not recommended.

I think possibly the people at Enfield Lock might have been the first to try 80% Mutton tallow, 20% Bees wax on early Minie Bullets. Still as good as anything in Enfields.. OLD DOG..

Yup, they got the recipe off my old grandma, I'm told. I've been using it for years without mutineering once.
