In a rush, trying to get to too much done,
I have my first stuck case in a FL sizing die,
I've heard about it, always wondered how stupid do ya have to be, Grin.
Send it to RCBS?

Buy a case puller. When you have one you will never need it again.

A buddy of mine had just started reloading, was being chintzy with the lube... At least *I* have never needed it again.

I've only stuck a few cases but it has worked great the few times I've needed it.

Or, yes you can send it to RCBS with a check for $5 return shipping, and they will remove case, inspect die, clean and polish free of charge............ Don't ask me how I know!

Only one I ever stuck was a .30/06 in a RCBS die when I first started loading. I removed the knurled lock ring and die bushing ang gently tapped the expander/decapping rod with a brass hammer. The case came free with about the third good tap.

Might have to buy the kit from midway to ensure I'll never need it.

You can drill & tap the case head, and put a bolt with a washer through a socket and thread the bolt into the head. when it tightens up it'll draw the case out. Me too. ;D
