Rusty Dies
I just bought a set of 7mm RM dies that have rust in them. The seating die has a "dusting" of orange inside, the decapper / sizer has a little more than a dusting. What's the best way to clean them up?
TIA.

The best way to clean them is to find someone with a lathe and chuck them up after removing the expander stem (Or seating stem in the case of a seating die) . Take a small diameter dowel and wrap it with steel wool wet with a bit of light oil. It does not take long to get the die polished to a mirror surface on the inside.
The outsides can be tackled with a stiff nylon brush wet with some light oil.

Oil and a bit of fine steel wool will fix them right up!
Check inside, too. You may need to stick some steel wool on a penci or something, to clean out the inside.
