[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1784943, member: 10291"] I agree with comments about cleaning brass and periodic cleaning of dyes. Not all dyes are created equal when it cones to the finish of the interior surface. I prefer mine to have a “mirror finish”. The difference between a Redding “competition” dye and the ‘“standard” offering is quite noticeable and shows up in the “standard” dyes ability to develop scratched cases. Additionally, while the lighter consistency case lubes like Imperial Wax and One-Shot work fine with my smaller cartridges, the possibility of a scratched, or even stuck case runs high. I prefer a heavier lube like the RCBS for my +308 sized cases. IMO. [/QUOTE]
