[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1783098, member: 104268"] Wondering how many of you have seen this behavior, what might lead to it (and prevent it), and what you do to remove it. It's not from an obvious bur in the die itself. It's brass being deposited and building up. [ATTACH=full]163949[/ATTACH] It's scratching the crap out of the brass. I've had it happen a few other times, and can't figure out what's different that causes it. As mentioned, it happens in different places to different extents in different dies, so I don't think it's a badly machined die. It's a real PITA. It slowly builds up, and scratches the brass worse and worse till I notice it. By that time, I have a bunch of scratched brass, and a gob of brass to remove. I've gotten rid of it with Sweets/Steel wool/elbow grease/sand paper/etc. Takes forever and halts my production. I also don't like "honing" my dies any more than necessary. Driving me crazy, as I'm in a hurry to get some 270 loaded for my Xmas travels. [/QUOTE]
