Hello ARFCOM.
I'm still fairly new to the whole reloading scene, and currently I only have an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme that I use to reload .45 Auto and 9mm for my wife and I to go punch holes in targets. We've loaded around 500 or so bullets thus far and have really enjoyed the experience thus far. My question is this: I keep all my reloading dies in the boxes they came in, but so far have only used a light coating of CLP to protect the threads from corrosion. Since currently my reloading sessions are getting to be farther and farther apart (sadly) I am curious if there's a better oil or dry lubricant/protectant that would perform better for me. Thanks for the help, I just want to keep my equipment operating in the best condition possible. |

Quoted:
CLP will work. Do not get rid of the little cardboard square in your die box. It acts as a dessicant. For the life of me I am drawing a blank on the name for those little chips....They actually release a rust preventive vapor and do not absorb moisture like a desiccant does. ETA: Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor - Chips/Paper/Cardboard Further ETA: I use light coat of Hornady One shot case lube over the entire die. Its wax based so a good coat seals the whole surface and you don't have to worry about powder contamination. |

ETA: Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor - Chips/Paper/Cardboard The VCI route works pretty good. I had some stuff from http://www.bull-frog.com/products/ that worked so well I could handle firearms and put them back in the safe with no worries of rust. The only other product that I would use would be http://www.lpslabs.com/product_pg/corrosion_pg/LPS3.html. When it dries, it forms a waxy protective layer. Use solvent to remove it. |
