Title: Re: Cleaning reloading Dies
Post by butlersrangers on Dec 9^th, 2018 at 6:15pm

I imagine 'abrasive residue' and humidity are the greatest enemies of Dies. These likely dictate frequency of cleaning measures.

IMHO - Interior of Die is much more important than exterior appearance.

Hoppe's #9 on Q-Tip makes quick work of cleaning most Die interiors. Follow up with dry Q-Tip.

p.s. - Since I 'back-off' most Dies, one turn to neck-size only, not much of a concern.
