I'm using an old (1974) set of RCBS dies, non carbide. I tumble all of my brass in walnut shells and Nu-Finish before depriming/resizing. I have to stop after every 75-100 cases and remove brass galling from the inside of the die with a lapper. It's a temporary fix, and the galling comes right back. The scratches get progressively worse until there's 10/12 lines along the case that can be felt with a fingernail.
Most lubing subjects I read about pertain to rifle cases, so I'm not sure how relevant it is to pistol cases. Will spraying down the cases with a shot of lanolin/alcohol help with the galling issue?
I'm really tired of interupting my process because of scratched brass.
