My dad and I just got his old reloading gear set up in my workshop, and we reloaded my first box of .45ACP. It went pretty well and now I'm hooked.
The 30-year-old powder measure (an RCBS model, looks like the current Uniflow) has just enough light corrosion on the cylinder to make it catch from time to time when throwing a charge.
Oil sounds like a bad idea since the powder will stick to it. Lightly polishing it with some fine steel wool also sounds like trouble.
Any suggestions? Should I load up a few boxes, wait for a busy month at work, and send it back to RCBS for some refurb? Is it likely to smooth out with use?
Thanks for your help.
