I was resizing some 270 cases, and I had one come out with the neck pushed down into the case. I took the decapping pin out and found a piece of a case neck stuck in the die. Had to use an ez out to get it out. I never had a neck snap off in a resizing die before.

Sounds like insufficient sizing lube, try Imperial sizing wax and thank me when your sizing woes are over.

How the heck did you miss a resized case coming out of the die with no neck??????

It can happen with old brittle brass, but should have caught that missing neck. They can pull off.

Better in the die than in your chamber….. Yes, for sure. Something I'd be concerned about is the condition of the other brass if it is from the same lot as the one that failed. That brass sounds like it needs to be annealed, or thrown out..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Better in the die than in your chamber….. recently had a buddy have a head/case separation brass stuck in chamber Try this..correct sized plastic hollow wall fastener....drop into ...chamber....insert screw & snug up Insert cleaning rod from muzzle & tap out plastic anchor along with stuck/broken brass works great

Hopefully I never need to try that, but sounds like a great idea.

I'll bet those would work great for doing something like this. Just a thunk?

That brass sounds like it needs to be annealed, or thrown out.. ^^^^This^^^^ Learned it the hard way with 7.62x51 brass necked up for .358 Winchester. Left a neck in the chamber and had to have my gunsmith kiss the chamber with a reamer to remove it. Expensive lesson in annealing!

For head separation and case stuck in chamber try ECHO ruptured cartridge extractor. Don't ever go on a hunt without one in your pocket. Very cool tool to have handy...

How the heck did you miss a resized case coming out of the die with no neck?????? Probably because I was in a rush, and not paying too close attention. My fault

Brass bore brush of the appropriate size usually works when you have a case head separation.

I've normally had a case come apart at the web if it came apart at all... since I started annealing either each or every other time... I haven't had to deal with that problem....
