Had several RCBS dies stored in a flooded basement. I soaked them with naval jelly and scrubbed with steel wool, used a brush on a cleaning rod with a drill to polish the insides. Worked fine afterward. This would be a good time to hone the dies to your case dimensions as that will remove rust and result in an almost custom equivalent. I liked the BPCR blued dies so cold blued some of mine, seems to have helped. I always store the dies with a treatment of Corrosion X, Eesox or even Hornaday one shot case lube. I wipe the dies down with solvent or Kroil before using them. Wipe of and lube your dies and you shouldn't have any trouble.
