I recently acquired brass, bullets, tools, and about
reloading 25 die sets from a friend whose father had
passed. The dies are RCBS, Lyman, Redding and Dillon mfg.
Most are regular guy calibers - 223, 38, 40 S&W, then there
are some lesser known ones like 303 British and 6.5 Swede.
Mfg dates look like mid 1990s to now. Most are in like new
condition, but some of the older ones have RUST on the
them. (I kept to myself my opinion about folks caring for
their firearms and equipment.)
Not being a reloader yet, I have a question - How do I best
clean these for use - I am using a new soft toothbrush and
nothing else right now. Do they need to be oiled? Are they
supposed to be oiled? I envision keeping some and
selling/trading others, so I want them working and rust
free. Suggestions welcome.
thanks
