Cleaning the rust off reloading dies

[bayjoe]

I have some of my reloading dies that are starting to get a bit of rust. Just wondering what people use to keep their dies from rusting or how they clean dies.
Has anybody ever tried putting dies in rotary tumbler with stainless steel pins?

I use wire brush on exterior and 0000 steel wool on interior with a little of your favorite gun oil. Clean well after cleaning/before using. Being relatively hard they don't rust easily.

I cleaned up a bunch of my older ones and sold them this winter. I used a very fine steel wool with Kroil. Cleaned them up beautifully...

Fine steel wool and Kroil is wonderful!

Soak them down with clp before you put them away.

I put my reloading dies in my stainless steel media tumbler from time to time. This helps keep them clean and polished. I the give them a light spray with Kroil before putting them away.

I run a dehumidifier in my reloading room and keep it dryer than a popcorn fart. That has stopped my tool rust.
