die polishing

Ammo Junky · October 27, 2006, 09:40 PM

I have an 30-06 die that is scratching brass. What is the easiest way to polish it? Mabey I could give it a long ride in the tumbler?

Thanks
AJ

First check to see if bits of brass are stuck to the die and causing the scratches. If so, possibly you can clean it out with a bore solvent that you would use to remove copper fouling.

I use a Dremel and Simichrome polish.
