I used Iosso paste on a tight fitting bore mop. Put the case in the lathe and polish the inside for as long as you can without falling asleep from boredom. Then do it for another 10 minutes.

In my case the inside of the die started to rust. That allowed some of the brass to stick to the side of the die. The scratches start small, but gets progressively worse as more brass sticks to the affected areas.

THIS !!!!
This may be the answer I am looking for, been years of speculating.The part you mention regarding rust, and that it gets worse, that interests me.
The OP is known to me, and I know his dies and weapon were on storage for 15 - 18 years (he moved to England after the Navy national service), my dies are (357) are from a deceased estate.

Maybe, just maybe !!!]]> Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/scratchs-on-my-cases#post-1135 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/scratchs-on-my-cases#post-1133 Tue, 31 May 2022 07:03:11 +0000

The only way that grit could get into the die is by way of dirty cases. Tumble before sizing.

I only recently started tumbling before every reloading, used to tumble only when necessary (which it turns out is not only when dirty to look at).]]> Reloading Methodology Treeman https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/scratchs-on-my-cases#post-1122 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/scratchs-on-my-cases#post-1121 Mon, 30 May 2022 05:38:24 +0000
My 38Spl and 357 cases looked scratched, but those turned out to be light drag marks. One gets a similar result from the course side of a dishwashing sponge.]]> Reloading Methodology Ds J https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/scratchs-on-my-cases#post-1121 https://systemz.online/reloading-methodology/scratchs-on-my-cases#post-1117 Sun, 29 May 2022 23:38:03 +0000
