Hello,
I'm brand new to reloading so have no idea on this. I just purchased a Hornady Lock n Load kit and was going to set it up. The instructions say to clean the powder dropper with one shot cleaner and lube. I can't for the life of me find this in Canada at the moment and most places from the US either won't ship it up here or the shipping charges are crazy expensive.
I called Hornady and they of course recommend their own stuff. They said options such as brake cleaner or rubbing alcohol would work to clean the hopper however they also can lead to corrosion in the future so not the best.
I'm wondering if a product like G96 would work or if it would cause problems? I already have some as I used it to clean some other parts, I just don't know what's so special about Hornady's one shot. Any other recommendations would be awesome.
Thanks,
RSC
