Removing a gas check from a cartridge

Ok. I had a brain fart and reloaded some cast bullets w/o the correct powder charge. I removed the projectile but the powder and gas check I can't remove. Is it safe to just 'shoot the gas check out'? It is a 150 grain boolet with 36 grains of IMR 3031. Do I need to reseat the projectile? I tried my kinetic puller but it won't budge.

Needle nose pliers, just reach in and grab them and pull. It worked for me.

Going to try that. It's in a 7.7mm Jap round. Let me go try that.

Press something like a small screwdriver onto one side of the gas check and it will most likely tilt. Then, as said, grab the edge with a pair of needle nosed pliers. Don't ask me how I know.

Same way that I know. [smilie=1:

Thank you! I pressed a small screwdriver to turn the GC on it's side, removed the powder and then used the pliers to remove the GC. Thank you for your suggestions!

Small mosquito Forceps work great for this. Yeah I been there too.
