What measures can one to take to prevent reloading dies and associated equipment corroding (which I assume they will if not protected)? My garage doesn't seem like an ideal environment for these things...

I got it from Motorbike stockist M&P, ebay seems a good bet. A can will be around £16.

Seems expensive. Do you wipe the chamber of the die before use or just crack on?

What about airtight containers with a desiccant?

Warm dry storage is a good start. My gunroom shares space with a computer rack, which keeps the temperature fairly consistent (helpful for consistent readings from digital balances too). I make-up dessicant bags (using dessicant that can be regenerated) for tool and die storage.

I use a very thin layer of Ballistol.

Acf50 is great, more for long term storage I would say as it leaves a residue.

I used to spray all the exposed bits of my bike in winter. Leave it on all winter then clean it off in spring.
No corrosion, just shiny metal bits. Even on fork stanchions.
