PREPARING THE DIES
Some Sizer Dies for bottleneck type cases have a tiny
vent hole through which trapped air escapes during resiz-
ing. Sometimes the vent hole will plug up with factory pol-
ishing compound. This compound will scratch and dent
cases unless it is removed. The dies are also coated with
a rust inhibitor which must be removed prior to use. The
Neck only Sizer dies do not have this vent hole.
Unscrew the Expander-Decapping Assembly from the die.
Insert a needle, straightened paper clip or similar object into
the vent hole. This will push the compound into the die body
and can be removed by cleaning the inside of each die
using a patch saturated with Outers Solvent. Disassemble
and clean the Seater die as well.
