dicehorn 38 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 How often do you guys clean your reloading equipment, ie dies ,press etc.. does it improve performance. Cheers LD I suppose it depends where you want to be with your reloading especially with dies. There are some that would say cleaning the bore of their rifle is a waste of time therefore would extend that philosophy to their dies. Personally my dies get a clean after every reloading session. It takes about 2 minutes to strip and clean a die. This is (in my opinion) important for those that use lube on full length and body dies - you would be surprised what collects in the die chamber. After stripping, I use a clean cotton cloth poked into the die chamber and work it around with the blunt end of a pencil to remove debris and lube. Peter Quote Link to post
