Bullet Lube
is not easy for me to remove from the dies. Tried Hoppe's 9 and Alcohol but it hardly touches it. Any product that will cut right through it to keep things nice and clean? Cleaning my guns are easier! I do try and have the dies adjusted, so as to not promote the gunk from loading up my dies, but it still happens. Ideas?
Thanks in advance! |

Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber--about 7 bucks at Wal-Mart. Or while you're there, get some disk brake cleaner for about 2 bucks. Both should work.

Hoppe's #9 on a brass brush has always worked for me.
If they're really gunked up, let them soak in a pan of kerosene or Coleman fule for an hour or two. JUST BE SURE TO DO THIS OUTSIDE, AND CAREFULLY!

Gasoline will work fine, but it's a helluva lot more dangerous to work with.

Or you could just put it in a saucepan of boiling water for a minute or two. The lube melts right out and floats to the top. Just don't use mommas good saucepan and reoil the die when you're done.
