I have been reloading about a year, mostly on my brother's Lee turret press at his house. I decided to buy myself a Hornady LnL AP last year, but because of my father passing unexpectedly, I ended up moving into an apartment so I could take care of my mother. Because of this downsize, I lost my garage, and have never had to deal with the issue I currently have.
I moved my little shop + smoker to a self storage place north of Dallas. I have a trailer I keep inside a 12'x35' mini storage to keep eyes off of it. Since I had power out there, I figured I'd use the 15' that is behind the smoker to the back wall to set my press back up. I don't get to go out there much (maybe a few hours each weekend), but this weekend when I went out there to move some stuff around, I noticed my dies and the unpainted steel part of the powder throw was starting to rust.
The unit is not climate controlled, but it does have good seals along the walls and on the garage door... I do not see any rust coming up on the smoker, so I am not sure what is really going on. Could cleaning the whole setup a month ago have stripped all the protective stuff on it? Should I just go put some case lube on the parts that are rusting?
This is to give you an idea of the type of room I am working with:
(note: I Dont keep my powder or primers out there.)
