Bought a used seater die and was reading about how to clean it. Got it apart and it was really gummy from old dried oil. Anyway, got the main part all cleaned up and was getting ready to clean the bullet seating tube and I noticed a black coating on the inside and wasn’t sure if it should be removed or not. My guess is that it might be Molly residue from the previous owner seating a lot of Molly coated bullets.

I just bought a new one it didn't have anything like that in it.
Could be graphite lube?
Some hand loaders add a dab of Imperial Sizing Wax inside of the bullet seating stem as well and over time it may become darkened and form a coating from die use.
