Cleaning dies
How and how often should reloading (sizing) dies be cleaned? Do bullet seating dies need cleaning? |
I never thought about this !
I just every now and then spray stuff like Brake Clean into mine and flush the old case lube out of them ? |
When I start getting dents in the shoulders of my resized brass, its time to clean the lube out of the sizing die. It's also time to cut back on the lube.
|
As to Bullet seating die ,it would not hurt to do it.
|
Air brake cleaner and a quick shot of case slick or one shot and you are good to go.

Way back when i first started reloading I would clean my sizing die a couple times a year with brake cleaner or engine starting fluid. But that was when the case lube was that gooey gel like stuff. Then I got smart and bought Hornady One Shot. Cleaned the sizing die thoroughly and occasionally give it a shot of the Hornady. In the past 15 years of so since this product came out I haven't cleaned my sizing die once.
