Is my new lee turret and dies rusting?
I got a new Lee Classic Turret and dies about 6 weeks ago (my first press). I have loaded about 500 or so rounds on it and it seems to be turning a brown color in some spots. I have it set up in a spare bedroom.
Is this rust? Should I be concerned? I honestly not too concerned with the way it looks but I do not want the metal to start piting. Also I just got it and it should not be rusting.
Can I do anything to remove it or keep it from getting worse?

Mine will sure rust if I don't treat them with something. I use the Hornady dry lube and spray everything that is bare.

Put some light weight oil on a rag and wipe down the metal parts. Not too much oil, just a light film.

As per your photos, hell yeah thats rust. Mine does the same thing. Steel wool and as previously stated light oil will solve your problem. Just solve the issue before it becomes a problem

I treat all my reloading equipment like my guns. Wipe them down with a thin coat of oil after handling.
