    I'm not sure if they honor their warranty for neglect, but you don't have to be the original owner.

    That said, I've been pretty amazed by their response to warranty inquiries.

    They've fixed some of my stuff due to neglect too. I forgot to tighten down the bolts on my RCBS Partner Press as they worked themselves loose. It cracked the base of the press as the result. They sent me a brand new press when I sent the broken one in.

    I'm not surprised. I don't think when I've called them they've even asked how something got broken and they've never asked for it's lineage.

    All the dies

    bc03a3ad30348867ce6b8e83ce1e5615.jpg


    Servicable dies:
    44mag
    8x57
    38 spec
    8mm (pacific brand)
    22-250
    .243 win
    30-30
    9mm lug
    444 marlin
    .308 (seating die only)

    And corroded to shit 30-06.

    So could i just send all the rcbs dies in at once?

    I would toss the dies, have fun and burn the powder in the back yard and use the empty cans to display flowers for the Thanksgiving table. Will give Thanksgiving a lil extra bang... (pun intended)

    Send all the dies back to RCBS together. While you're at it, you can have the lock rings updated to the current hex ones, and have the rifle mandrels updated to the current pattern as well.

    Evaporust will make those dies look new.

    I found dies in worse shape let them soak then carded them. If need be take some patches chuck them with some polishing compound. But I bet evaporust alone will solve your issue. Its amazing stuff.

    If the rust is inside the sizing die, any rust remover will leave a pit where the metal was removed. So still not usable.

    Outside rust is fine.
