Steel SlingerDie, press, and parts storage...
How do you store your dies, press, and other metal parts and keep them from rusting? Currently, I have wiped a light coat of Rem Oil spray lube on my press, dies, shell holders, and primer seater. Is that fine, or should I use something else?

ricciardelliI don't use anything. And after over 40 years, none of my equipment has shown any rust.

aktoklatI spray the inside of dies that I plan to store for an extended period with Break Free Collector. It does not build up and you don't have to clean the interior when you are ready to use the dies again. If you live in a dry climate you probably don't have to worry. However, down South our slogan is "In GOD we trust and in Louisiana we rust", So, if you want to protect dies, firearms or any carbon steel material you must protect it from the high warm humidity we experience!
