Those that have and those that will.😊
When I started reloading with a Lyman kit I got for Christmas, at 16 in ‘66, I stuck the first 243 case I tried to resize. (🤬 bad words) Seems like I took the loading manual too seriously when it said, “don’t over lube the cases”. I took the die back to the little “hole in the wall” shop where my father bought the kit and the owner showed me how to take care of it. He sold me the kit at a discount. 😊
Later when I’d walk into his shop to buy some components, about half the time he’d stick something in the bag and say “here, try these” but not charge me. He was somewhat of a character with a personality that some would describe as “sour” but he was always congenial in my dealings with him. Great story, kinda teared up. Thanks.

You can make one yourself using a 3/8 drive socket as the spacer to fit over the back of the stuck case and die with the appropriate size drill bit nd a 1/4 x20 tap and bolt.
This, done it a few times, it works.

we all have stuck a case or 3 it happens , my self i started to lube 1 case at a time with Redding Reloader/sizer wax now i never have a problem and maybe my groups might be a little tighter too, because i wax and resize 1 case at a time ,just maybe its because i inspect each case a little better too at that time ? i have 2 areas to reload ammo also 1st at my home and the another area is at the house deer camp up north and i have stuck cartridge case kits at both places . good luck,Pete53

Probably the worse for me was to charge up 100 cases only to realize I forgot to prime them. I call it the worse because it was flat out stupid and time consuming.

I have a Hornady and a RCBS stuck case remover because I’m always in a hurry and f things up when it’s least opportune.

You are low intelligence.....so take every precaution. I have a Hornady and a RCBS stuck case remover because I’m always in a hurry and f things up when it’s least opportune.

I have only stuck two cases in 30 plus years of reloading, both 270's. First one I took to a friend, the second one I built my own kit from internet tutorials.
Have since switched from the Hornady one shot lube to old school resizing lube with no more problems.

Another vote for just send the thing back to RCBS. They'll fix it for free.

I've stuck a few and this is my method.
Unscrew the deprimer/expander ball assembly and get it out of the way as much as possible
Drill and tap the base of the brass for a 1/4 20 bolt.
Screw in a long enough bolt that when I place the die on the top of my vise, the bolt hangs below the jaws
Adjust the jaws in as much as possible. You want the bottom of the dies resting on top of the jaws.
Clamp vise-grips around the shank of the bolt, just above the head of the bolt
Take a hammer and knock the hell out of the vise grips.... suck case will come out.
Readjust the deprimer rod and your back in business.
