New invention for stuck case removal , that doesn’t work

[cornshank]

Don't take bolt cutters and cut old drill bit end off ,put in die and pound with hammer ,to remove stuck case .
You will probably end up with a new improved RCBS wood bit , that will still fit in press , but doesn't do anything.
Can't use bit anymore either .

brass cleaning rod from the muzzle with a couple light taps won't do it?

Pound out stuck case removers never work for me - I bought a tap,bolt to match tap, nice sharp twist drill, & washers from Home Depot - that with a hacksawed steel pipe of a slightly smaller diameter of the die, a dab of wheel bearing grease & a crescent wrench extracted the stuck case. Now I am looking for some very large threaded primers.

Only ever stuck 1. drilled and tapped flash hole for 1/4" fine thread bolt. threaded a bolt thru a 3/8 drive socket that fit the end of the die and pulled it right out. Never tried the california way.

What Seabeeken said above is what I used to do and will do if I ever have it happen again. Now I take my new dies apart and celan them well before first use, and then I make sure I use the correct sheel holder and lube the case with a fine film, and no more stuck cases. Does ruin your day to have one pop put of the shell holder.

At least it is in the cheapest group to replace. I have stuck a total or two cases in 50 years. Both times it was when everything was closed. The SECOND time I had a stuck case remover and was back in business in short order. We really don't need to discuss the first time, but the experience was similar to the above.

You are obviously using the bit backwards!

Has ANYONE ever stuck a case in a die that was not brand new? I don't know what they use to preserve them at the factory but it is not compatable with case lube, especially Hornady One Shot. They aren't kidding when they say to clean the die before using it.

Try cutting it off again about an inch from the die. Put it in the press upside down and press out the case with the handle.
