[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 682536, member: 30902"] I've had some really stuck cases in the past. I think anyone who's done much reloading has run into it at some point. I've never had one I couldn't get out by doing the following: Fire it if there's a live primer in it. Leave bolt open, do not bang or hammer on it to get the case to release. spray a little lube down the muzzle and let it sit for a bit. Take a cleaning rod and slide it down till it bottoms out in the case. Repeatedly just tap/bounce the cleaning rod against the case and sooner or later it will break free. Do this with the rifle butt on the ground barrel straight up. Gravity and the weight of the bolt will work with you to help dislodge it. If I ever ran into one I couldn't get out with this method I'd take it straight to a gunsmith and let them do what they get paid for. No sense risking doing any damage to the rig just out of frustration. [/QUOTE]
