    + one on that. Very gently squeeze the neck out of round, it should drop out.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    Check out alligator hemostats. They’re designed to go deep into places and only open at the end.

    You’re not the only one that hates to lose brass. I spend stupid amounts of time on one piece at times. I can have 1500 pieces of easily replaced pistol brass in front of me and I’ll still spend 2 to 5 minutes salvaging one piece.

    Use a nail. Turn the case neck down and shake till the gas check can be seen. Insert a nail head up and it will fish out of the brass. You loose the gc but save the brass.

    I have a set of small pliers with a pair of long needle nose. I also have a straight pick in my pick set and I use it to push the GC in slightly so I can dump the powder. When the powder is out I shake the GC down to the neck and reach in with the long needle nose piers and grab it and pull it out. Might take a few minutes but it works real good for me.

    I have a case with a GC stuck in it. It’s been sitting on my table for six months. I always thought I would just shoot it out, but have never gotten around to it. I may try some of these ideas first now.
