[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 486437, member: 29174"] One trick is to file off the rim that ripped a bit and run the die back into the press. Then turn the remaining good part of the rim into the shell holder and very gently try to work the case out. If you melted a bit of sizing wax down the die around the case that would help. If you can get the de-capping stem loose you can drill out the primer pocked and tap 1/4" threads into it. Use a piece of threaded rod screwed into the case and a spacer tube(like the socket mentioned previously) and a washer and nut to pull the case out. Don't use a bolt or turn the threaded rod in the case under pressure. I use the same method to pull stuck cases out of chambers. It is fairly easy to screw up a de-capping stem trying to remove a stuck case. I used one shot for a long time and if I got a case that was sprayed a little light or wasn't quite dry I might get a stuck case or bent rim. I went to sizing wax and the effort to re-size cases went down alot. Once you run a couple cases in a die with siznig wax you can run a couple through with no lube and not stick a case. With one-shot you would not be able to do that. [/QUOTE]
