[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 658242, member: 10391"] First I need to apologize. I read your post and couldn't help but laugh. I think the stuck case thingy has happened to everyone who fools with reloading and rifles but breaking the dowel off did it for me. If you can get the dowel out removing the case is simple. I have used a bronze welding rod you know the one used for brazing. They are 36 inches long come in different diameters and won't damage the rifling. Make sure the primer is spent and tap the case out. How tight is the dowel and how long is the broken off piece. If you run a screw into the end that will only tighten it but as a last resort would try. You could drill a pilot hole in the dowel carefully if your used to using tools then run a screw in and try pulling it out. If the dowel is "tight" that won't work You may have to take it to a smith and have him remove the case from the receiver side using his expertise then drive the dowel out. One of the rifle mechanics will chime in I'm sure and give you some solid advise. [/QUOTE]
