I've been going through my reloading stuff since it's been a while and plan to do some reloading after the Holidays. I ran across some dies that I had stored on a Dillon tool head for many years and low and behold there was some rust.
Fortunately it was minor and easily fixed with some gun oil and 4 ought steel wool. My other dies that were stored in their original boxes were just fine, but it still got me thinking about ways to protect them when they are not in use.
How do you prep your dies for storage? Hit them with WD40, case lube, other oil, or the case lube from reloading just good enough? I saw a video where one fellow puts desiccant in with the dies. Thoughts?
