Someone posted there is a company who will hone the neck sizer of a die. Anyone remember where to send one?

Called them today. They charge $12 plus return mail. I will be sending my RCBS .270 Win in very soon.

Did you tell them it was an RCBS???
If not, you better call them back and tell them - my understanding is they will only hone Forester Dies.
I'd like to do the honing myself.
I have a "Flex Hone" that I used to clean up some scratches from nickle coated brass.
It a "Flex Hone" the correct tool to open the necks?
Nickle does not scratch steel - nickle is too soft and steel is too hard. I know people say it all the time, but it is a myth.
Flakes of nickle stick to the walls of the die in the thick lube, and then scratch cases.
You don't need to hone the die, just wash it in paint thinner or break cleaner, and re-oil it.
jfseaman,
It seems some people come on the 'net only to argue. It's quite sad.
