Thanks so much to Dave for providing this suggestion. The 3rd valve slide action on my Dillon 967 was just a bit stiffer than I preferred. I used Flitz as per Dave’s suggestion, and the action is now much better. This wasn’t something that was bad enough to take to a repair person, but the stiff action compared to the rest of the slides was annoying, and now all is well - thanks again Dave!- Scott
