[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 606734, member: 39764"] I'm anal about surface finish as it pertains to loading dies (and other things too). I want the interior of my dies to have a mirror like surface because the more polished the interior is, the less chance of a stuck case and I dislke scratched brass so I always clean them (brass) prior to sizing, in fact, I'll tumble prior to decapping and maybe tumble again, I like shiny and clean..... What I do with dies is I take a small (fairly tight fitting) felt bob and put it on a screw mandrel and chuck the mandrel in a die grinder. Then I put a tiny amount of Clover Fine Lapping Compound on the felt bob and run it up inside the die and polish the interior to a mirror finish and inspect the interior with a bore scope. Probably a bit anal on my part but I've never had a stuck case and my brass always gets resized with no scratches plus I don't bust a nut resizing even large magnum cases.... I don't want to experience a stuck case. I hear they aren't too bad to get out but I've never had to unstuck one....yet. .......and I use Hornady One Shot.:) [/QUOTE]
