Help With Press
Quote from Reloader on November 18, 2010, 2:29 amI now have the sqaure deal press that my father bought years ago for my 44 mag. His reloading room ended up getting some moisture in it and now the press needs some tender love and care. However I think I caught it in time and will be able to get it back to looking like new.
Because of the little moisture that came in contact with the press the base and a few other parts have a white film (maybe Pitting) on it. I was wondering if there was anyway to fix this or should I just buy replacement parts?
Thanks for your help and I look forward to working with Dillon products

The white film is zinc oxide.Any pitting would be on the steel parts. As long as the interior of the dies aren't pitted, then any damage is merely cosmetic and won't affect the quality of the ammunition.
