Got a boolit stuck in a die. How do I get it out?

[Gohon]

You're gonna have to explain better than that. A bullet, a case, or a cartridge?

What kind of die -- sizing, seating, crimp?

[Southpaw 72]

Sorry, a sizing die.

[badbob454]

if its a lee knock it out from the top use a hard piece of steel or drift pin and wrap it with tape so it wont scratch the die , if it isnt ... ill let someone else tell you as i only use lee sizing dies .may also lube it real good with kroil and force it through , i weigh 200 plus pounds and sometimes the boolits take most of what ive got to push them through

[littlejack]

So, you are saying that you have a "case" stuck in a case sizing die?
OR, are you saying that you have a "boolit" stuck in a boolit sizer die?

Boolit stuck in a rcbs sizing die.

Boolit stuck in a rcbs sizing die.

So this is in a lubri sizer die?

Always carry, never tell.

[runfiverun]

if worse comes to worse pull the die and drop in in your lead pot.
it will turn a case color color but the lead will come out.

[boltons75]

If that's the case, Id remove the die from the lube sizer, put it in a padded vise and use a hammer and punch to carefully knock it out.

If you can drill a small hole through it first without marring the die, it will relieve some tension, making it easier to push out.

[geargnasher]

Pop it out of the sizer frame, turn it upside-down on a board with a hole drilled through it, and use a brass/lead/plastic hammer to drive the boolit back out by tapping the ejector pin on the die. A little heat from a propane torch to soften the lube will help. Don't melt the O-ring if it has one.

Got it. Heated it up and was able to drive it out. Thanks guys.

If the die was due, or one that had been cleaned of all lube, apply some oil to the first boolit which will prevent it from sticking/getting stuck.
