I use Bore Scrubber and a bottle brush, or nylon chamber brush (depending upon the caliber).
Imperial Sizing wax tends to leave wuite a bit of crud in sizing dies. |

Take them apart.
Pull a old rag though to get the loose stuff. Then scrubb them with a nylon bore brush of proper size with a patch wrapped around it, and favorite gun cleaner on it. I clean them after each large batch. Works good so far. |

Disassemble, spray with brake cleaner, scrub with old nylon brushes, Q-Tips, pipe cleaners, as required, reassemble.

I also NuFinish the presses, powder measures, and other metallic items where oil is a no-no, at the same time I clean the dies.

Hornady one shot gun cleaner and dry lube.
Spray em out and let dry. Everytime I use them. If they need serous cleaning then I take apart and follow above procedures. |

I take them apart and run the correct size BoreSnake thru them about 3 times. The smaller parts I just spray down and use a rag. I rarely have to do this since I use a universal decapping die...then clean my brass before it even looks at a sizing die.

Not an expert, but I've used a brush and acetone with good success.

Quoted:
I think it's time to clean my dies. The seating and crimp dies are leaving my rounds with a dark almost greasy film. It comes off easily with a rag. Guess my question is how do I clean them. What do you do? Thanks in advance I use brake cleaner to clean them, then I use CorrosionX on the dies, inside and out to add a slight lube and prevent rust. -Masta |

Do not put them in your tumbler! Never underestimate the ability of tumbling media to pack itself into even the smallest grooves and pockets. That's one mistake I won't be repeating.

My gun cleaning solvent is Ballistol, which is oil based so it's corrosion protection too. I just use that to clean/protect. Makes it easy.
