[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 489299, member: 11717"] Did you ever get this fixed? I got a 300 RUM case stuck in a body die. I was using Hornady One Shot, but I'm convinced it wasn't the One Shot. It was simply a very stretched piece of brass from some over pressured loads which is a story in itself. What I did to get out was to remove the die with stuck case and then screw it back in upside down. Then I took a drill with slight smaller than 1/4" bit a drilled a hole through the primer pocket. Then I took a 1/4" self drilling/tapping hex head screw and screwed it n with a cordless impact driver with the head of the screw about 3/8ths" above the head of the case. Then I got a 2' crow bar for some leverage, put a wooden block between the crow bar and the top of the press and cranked away. It took some force but it did come out. Believe it or not, I got another stuck a few minutes later and repeated the process.... and then... yet another. I finally learned to size those over pressured cases a little at a time. Bring the press handle down until I feel it getting tight then back up, then down again just a little farther, etc. In your case it might be the dies. Take the advise to call Forster and get it figured out. -Mark [/QUOTE]
