Cleaning a sizing die

[Glenn]

I made one of those accidental discoveries.  If you use a bullet lubrisizer, you know the dies get a little scrungy.  I dug out my 429 ready to do up a batch and it was really bad.  I tried wiping it off, yeah right, then I noticed my wife's hair blower.  A couple minutes on high and the goo just ran off the die.  A quick swipe with a paper towel and a little ream job with the same towel and it looks like new.  I may not have to beat on it to get it in the sizer!

I had to clean some die sets I was selling, and the seating and crimp dies were awful with lube and gunk.  I used mineral spirts and the stuff melted off also.
