Charlestiller Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I got a set of dies out that I haven’t used in a few years and apparently when I put them up I didn’t clean them first, so they are nasty. I usually use the Hornady cleaner and dry lube to clean my dies, but I’m out of it. What else is really good for cleaning dirty dies? As well as a Hornady powder measurer that has been in storage? Thanks guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlestiller Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Gun Scrubber for the dies. I’ve got solvent. Will that work just as well? I thought it was desirable to use something that also acted as a lubricant without getting the surfaces oily or sticky?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ming the Merciless Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) WD40 Specialist with Dry Lube. It is very similar to the Hornady Cleaner/Lube and much cheaper. Don't make the mistake of getting the Gel version....don't ask me how I know this! https://www.wd40.com/products/dry-lube/ Edited March 27, 2020 by Ming the Merciless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPD7119 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Break cleaner with a green scrub pad will clean them up nicely. Any leftover residue can be blown out after the scrub pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
