rusty stuff

[Kinsman]

I had my reloading equipment stored for almost 2 years while I built my house, and when I got it out to start populating a new bench, I found that much of the stuff was rusty. Nothing drastic, but a light rust on my dies and exposed parts of my presses. The straight wall dies are carbide, and don't appear to be affected as much as the steel dies.
Any suggestions on rust removal? Naval Jelly?

WD40 and steel wool. You may also want to blue those parts after you clean them with Blue-Wonder (very easy to use and works very well) so they dont rust again. I did it on my Redding T7's exposed parts after I found rust on it just from the humidity in California, and I never saw rust on it again.

Re: rusty stuff

I had the same thing happen to me with some of my dies, I took them apart and tossed the affected parts into my tumbler, worked pretty good.
