[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 531971, member: 22495"] Exactly how I fixed my problem. Drill the primer pocket and tap it. I just went to a "nuts n bolts" place, got a tap and a threaded stud. Drilled the primer pocket. Threaded in the stud. Placed the die in the press upside down. Placed a washer over the stud to protect the die. Placed a socket over it to use as a spacer. Then put a nut on the stud and threaded it down until it touched the socket (you may have to put another washer between the socket and nut) and gave it a couple of twists. Came right out. You will be amazed as to how easily it comes out. Fight off all urges to just grab the hammer!!! Oh, and take out the decapping pin so you get it out of the way. I should have made that step one, because you cant drill the primer pocket if the decapping pin is sticking out of it. You can use the search function on here to get an idea of what size drill bit and tap/thread size to use. Good luck. Don't worry about buying a new die. The one you have will be fully functional after you do this. Good luck. Steve [/QUOTE]
