Cleaning After Using Case Lube
Quote from Reloader on June 5, 2008, 10:55 pmA question for Dillon. What is the best cleaning agent to use after doing a large batch of rifle cartridges. I used my XL650 to Size/De-cap/Trim around 3k 30-06 cartridges. I used Simple green to clean all of the parts. After covering and storing the press for 35 days, today I went to setup for reloading and found that most of the parts felt greasey and sticky. What does Dillon recommend to clean up the residue of cartridge lube ?
Thx Roger
