Howdy from Ne!
Have been reloading for more years than I care to think about, and have never had a full case head seperation from a well lubed case in a die until about half an hour ago. The case is a K-Hor, the die is an RCBS, the lube was/is Lyman spray on, the case is a WW, and has been loaded 4 times (I think). Now the question, Having never experianced a full head seperation in a die, have no experiance in getting the case out with hopefully not ruining the die in the process. Am looking for words of wisdom and hopefully sucessful experiance in extraction, rather than just having to order another die. The only good thing about this is that I didn't have the seperation in the rifle. (#3 Ruger by the way). My loads have not been particularly hot( at least in my mind, and judging by primer flattening, and various manuals) My normal load is 12gr. H-110, under the little 35gr. Hor. V-Max, and over CCI std. SR primer, with either Win/Rem Brass. I had planned to anneal these cases befor reloading.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated, and I thank in advance all who respond to this thread.
