i have never heard a definitive answer on whether the problem lies with bad brass, or hot charges, or both. i do know that indian ammo from that period has a terrible reputation, and i won't touch it - even if broken down into components. it's just not worth the risk.
yes, they appear to be steel shavings. part of the reason i asked was i am unfamiliar with lee dies and didn't know if maybe it was plating that might have chipped off, or something like that. after further inspection, all of the dies are structurally sound and just needed a good cleaning...
new .45 acp lee carbide die set just arrived. there were a few metal shavings in the box. i intend to disassemble and clean all of the dies before i use them. i've never owned lee dies before, and was wondering if this is normal.

after the rust is cleaned off, nothing is easier or works better than vci bags. you can buy them at polygunbag.com. i've used them for years, it's what the military uses.
