My 7mm X 57mm sizing die has been galling a little more each year. Enough was enough and this morning the die got polihed.

First it was cleaned than with a rag wrapped around a bottle brush and 1000 grit lapping compound the first 1/2" or so of the die was laped clock wise for 5 min. and tha counter clock wise for 5 min.This was fallowed by 5 minutes of short stroking. The dies was again cleaned and the same procedure used with Colgate tooth Paste.

The result was excellent easy entry and extraction with no squeeks. The date on the RCBS die was "54". I think I got it in about "61". roger
