[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 391611, member: 19372"] Get a piece of 1/4" wooden dowel about 4 inches long. Cut a slot in the end of it about an inch long. Get some 400 grit wet-n-dry paper for sanding metal from the local auto parts store. Cut a 1" strip about 2" long. Remove the depriming stuff, hold the die in a vise or clamp it to a bench. Chuck the dowel in an electric drill, put the paper in the slot wrapped around the dowel, dip it in oil, and use that to polish the inside of the die. Polish it evenly all over for 20 or 30 seconds moving the dowel in and out to establish some cross hatch. That should fix it. If not, do it a second time. Note: Make sure the dowel is small enough that it won't get stuck in the die! If you can get access to a lathe, or have a buddy with a lathe, have him chuck the die in his lathe and polish it with the same dowel and emery paper. Spinning the die does a better job but you can fix your problem using an electric drill. Fitch [/QUOTE]
