Cleaning reloading dies
what do you recommend using to clean the inside of a rifle resizing die? I just want to do a general cleaning to remove any buildup of resizing lube, etc.

I soak mine in purple power after disassembling. Simple green or any other good cleaner would work too. Then a quick scrubbing with a nylon test tube brush in the neck and old toothbrush in the die body. Rinse in HOT water. Blow dry with a hair dryer. 0 -
I use rubbing alcohol and Q-tips or a small nylon brush if needed. The alcohol evaporates quickly so you don't have to dry them. 0 -
non-chlorinated break cleaner. Spray it in generously, and the accumulated lube and dirt will run right out. Then a quick spray with some rem-oil and your back in business. 0 -
+1 on what JustC said, about as easy as it gets 0 -
I use regular gun cleaning products, like a patch or nylon brush with Hoppes #9. 0 -
Hoppe's #9 and Q-tips 0 -
Just about anything you would clean your guns with. 0 -
what about using bullet spray lube after cleaning isn't it supposed to evaporate and just leave an oil residue thats not supposed to contaminate powder 0 -
Chemtool B-12, Acetone or MEK; takes the gunk right out of them. 0 -
Rubbing alcohol works well. 0
