I have received a set for the .338RUM,I ran with some problems,How can you take out their stuff they are putting inside theirs dies without domaging the inside of theirs dies,no solvent,may be a particular oil...

any solvent including carb cleaner will do. Use a cotton ball or cloth to clean it out and gasoline, acetone, paint thinner....what ever you got. Immediately after cleaning the "crap" out of it give it a shot of die lube, one shot or whatever you use as a case lube.

Then go to reloading.

I loaded over 400 rounds of .204 Ruger. This last weekend when I was shooting, I noticed that some of the brass had a ring around the case just about a half inch below the shoulder. I will take the dies and soak them in slovent and then polish it out to see if that helps make it go away.

No pressure problems or anything else though!

Your ring around the sholder wouldn't be from using a Lee deburrer would it??
John L.

non-chlorinated break cleaner in a spray can. This type will also no harm the stock finish if you use it in a barrel as well.

JAL,

I did deburr the cases witha deburring tool, not from LEE though, but I did not notice any rings then. I will check that out and fill you guys in if it is that

Thanks,I was able to clean the dies...
