[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 489553, member: 25383"] getting the stuck case out is easy if you gave a vise in your garage. Remove the whole stem assembly to gain access to the top of the case. Turn the die upside down and give it two or three drops of Kroil, and then let it soak awhile. Now while this is going on round up three or four flat 1/2" washers (cad washers prefered) and a #10 allen cap screw that's about 2 3/4" long. Then simply spush the bad case out of the die by closeing the vise jaws on the bolt head. Usually it only needs to move about .10" to loosen up. If you have access to an arbor press you in even better luck. Simply press the old case back out. Another way to do this is with the same washers, but drill a hole thru the primer pocket for clearend on the screw. Simply tighten a nut on the other end to pull the bad case out. I've done both ways in the past when I got a little too engergetic. Next time use Imperial die wax, and be done with it. You said that you had sized some cases just fine, while this one froze up in the die. That should be a hint that there's either something dead wrong with the cases or the lube your using is worthless. When you remove the stem assembly check to see if the stem in bent. If it is you need to replace it. The Imperial wax seems to withstand higher pressures generated with bigger cases better than the spay on stuff. Lastly when measuring a once fired case at the datum line, how does it compair with a chamber drawing? I've ran into long and short chambers more than once in the past gary [/QUOTE]
