Any body got a good way to get a stuck case out of a FL sizer die I was sizing some 25-06 brass and apparently my first mistake was not paying attention to the lube on each case. followed by the worst mistake of putting to much pressure on the press and there you have it.

i have had some luck by drill and taping the primmer pocket and use a socket with a washer,nut and bolt. tap brass, stick a socket between a washer/nut on the bolt and brass tighten the nut, bolt should pull out brass good luck!!

Here are more directions and pictures for what Camaro1st describes, which is the method I use also.

What brand is the die? Dillons dies you just use a wrench and Lee loosen the collet and tap the decaping pin with a brass hammer.

No mention of bolt loosener (PB Blaster, WD40, etc.) between case & die,
would that help before applying the force?
