My brother is reloading at the moment and as Im helping him I had thought, How do you maintain your dies?
I was thinking of using WD-40 to spray em down, Then use a old toothbrush to scrub em down and wipe them off with a soft cloth or napkin. Im not sure if WD-40 is a great idea. Not sure, But I think someone mentioned here that WD-40 isn't that great to use.
Also, My brother is reloading 9mm and his Powder Thru Expander Die seems to shave his brass every time he expands. Tried different cases and same results. Backed off the die and it did the same. Opened it up and found brass shavings in it on the expander.
What would cause this and what would be the right way to fix this problem?
