Does anyone use FrogLube on their reloading dies?

Have to ask: Why??

The case gets lubed, the inside of the neck gets dry lubed, just can't see any reason for lubing any other part of the die unless you're storing them in a damp basement.

The basement in my old (130 yrs+) farmhouse always seems damp ... the dies get a thorough spray down with G-96 ... but are
dried off before use ... and then re-sprayed again for storage. Even the re-size and final crimp stations on my P-W shotshell press
get a spray-down ... cause they will rust, especially during the summer months. PITA, but better than dealing with rust.

It's for rust prevention, the exposed metal on the dies will sometimes rust. My dies aren't to bad, but I find the lettering that is stamped in the side of the die rusts, so I brush a little Froglube on them and no more rusting.
