[QUOTE="archer, post: 2394224, member: 27557"] Do any of you remember good ol' RIG?? ( Rust Inhibiting Grease) It went off the market for a while. But Birchwood Casey has brought it back. They assure that it is the same identical formulation as the old product. A thin film of this stuff does wonders. Treat your dies with a very thin layer of RIG and say goodbye to your rusting problems. As for the inside of your dies, if its a die that requires lube then the residual lube should protect your critical dimensions. If carbide and they are going to be unused for a while, never hurts to swab a little lube into the sizing ring as well as rest of die. I have an old Lyman TC .44 die that was in some items I picked up somewhere and was amazed to see the sizing ring was in such sorry shape....didnt know that could happen. [/QUOTE]
