Last nite I was resizing/depriming a lot of .454 Casull brass. On the upstroke, a case parted inside the size die, leaving me with half a case free, and the other half still inside the die, just barely protruding from the die mouth. Not enough of it is exposed to get anything like a needlenose pliers on it.
Any suggestions as to how to get the remaining case out of the die, without scoring the die wall and wrecking the die?

thanks.

I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
